Ana was ultimately used to implement several important data visualization tools that advanced the state of the art, in the late 1990s—notably a multispectral image viewer that was used for several space missions including [[Yohkoh]], [[Solar and Heliospheric Observatory|SOHO]], [[TRACE]], and [[Hinode (satellite)|Hinode]].<ref name="HurlbertShineTarbell1997">{{citation | last1 = Hurlbert | first1 = Neal E. | last2 = Shine | first2 = Richard A. | last3 = Tarbell | first3 = Theodore D. | editor-first1 = Georges G. | editor-first2 = Robert F. | editor-last1 = Grinstein | editor-last2 = Erbacher | title = Interactive interface for visualizing and analyzing multispectral solar images | series = Visual Data Exploration and Analysis IV | date = 9 April 1997 | volume = 3017 | pages = 165–173 | publisher = SPIE | issn = 0277-786X | doi = 10.1117/12.270325 | bibcode = 1997SPIE.3017..165H | s2cid = 61026169 }}</ref> Ana appears to have been intended as [[free software]] though it is not distributed under a recognized [[FOSS]] license. It remains available as source code, primarily through the [[Solarsoft]] distribution system, but its role as an open source, reproducible data analysis language has been subsumed by more recent tools such as [[Perl Data Language|PDL]] and [[Numpy]]/[[Astropy]].
