The '''Astronomical Image Processing System''' (AIPS) is a package to support the reduction and analysis of data taken with radio telescopes. It is most useful for arrays of telescopes like the [[Very Large Array|VLA]] and [[Very Long Baseline Array|VLBA]] and the [[Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope|WSRT]]. In more recent years, it has also been used successfully for [[VLBI]] (very long baseline interferometry).
The software was originally developed by [[NRAO]] in the seventies, and has since grown to be the defacto standard software package in the worldwide radioastronomy community.
