Line 24: At the same time, the capabilities of AIPS have also greatly expanded. Initial usage was focused on the VLA, but it has gone on to be used to reduce data from practically all radio interferometers, including [[MERLIN]] and the [[GMRT]] and, to a lesser extent, the [[Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope\|WSRT]] and [[Australia Telescope Compact Array\|ATCA]]. The ability to calibrate VLBI data (including [[space VLBI]]) was added in the 1990s, primarily to support operations with the [[Very Long Baseline Array\|VLBA]], but in the process becoming the main data-reduction package for the [[European VLBI Network\|EVN]] and combined VLBA/EVN observations (Global VLBI). Single-dish support was also added in the 1980s, with particular application to NRAO's [[ARO 12m Radio Telescope\|12-m radio telescope]] and the 91-m transit telescope. AIPS has now been in use for over 30 years and has even outlived its supposed replacement [[AIPS++]], which was eventually rebranded as CASA<ref>{{cite journal\|last1=Jaeger\|first1=Shannon\|title=The Common Astronomy Software Applications (CASA)\|journal=Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems ASP Conference Series\|date=2008\|volume=394\|url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2008ASPC..394..623J}}</ref>. CASA has gone on to be the main data-reduction package for the upgraded VLA (EVLA) and [[Atacama Large Millimeter Array\|ALMA]], but AIPS remains able, to a large degree, to process data from these state-of-the-art instruments. Despite its age and limited resources, AIPS remains widely used and under active development.
