HyperLeda mirror in SSADC
http://www.skyarchive.org/hyperleda
The scientific goal which motivated the development of former HyperCat was the study of the physics and evolution of galaxies.
Since 2000 HyperCat and LEDA are operated in a common consortium which will offer a merged interface called HyperLeda.
Since 2004 HyperLEDA is mirrored in SSADC, future development
DENIS mirror: contract was signed
