Flexible Image Transport System (.fts)

The Flexible Image Transport System (FTS) file extension, is predominantly utilized for the storage, transmission, and manipulation of scientific and astronomical data. Developed by NASA in the late 1970s, this standardized format facilitates data interchange among the astronomical community. FTS is highly extensible, supporting various data types such as images, tables, and multidimensional arrays. Its widespread adoption stems from its capability to encapsulate metadata efficiently, enabling accurate and effective exchange of complex datasets among researchers and institutions.

Portable Bitmap (.pbm)

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
