Opening an ICT File
The ICT file type is primarily associated with NASA Ames Tools.
What is an ICT file?
They often store atmospheric data used by organizations like NASA Ames Research Center and the Integrated Climate Data Center.
Such files hold datasets that record climatic measurements and weather observations for scientific research.

How to open ICT files
You need a suitable software like NASA Ames Tools to open an ICT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your ICT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ICT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. ICT files are often referred to as NASA Ames Tools data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- TIFF and ISO Image Related File
ICT format details:
If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the ICT files is as follows:
The ICT file extension is not widely used. Such a file includes various formats for various programs. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 25% of all ICT files start with the magic bytes , 1001, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. The files are 9 KB to 4 MB in size, with a median of 830 KB. This file type is based on cutting-edge technology. The following keywords are characteristic: University, seconds, NOAA, Time and from. A common filename is FIREXAQ-FireTemp_N46_20180601_R0.ict. Such files sometimes refer to firexaq, fire, temp, korusaq, flight, ground, owlets, large and thru.
- 7% of all ICT files store the data in the XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The files are on average 120 KB in size and range from 26 KB to 600 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>, <Graphs Version="5", IsTimePlot="True" IsHistogram="False", Mean, Title and Graph GraphID.
All other ICT files (68%) have different formats, often, for example, CCardDesignObject. Sometimes used for other, grabbe, merge, discoveraq, arctas or cacti. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your ICT file!

an ict data file is a special file format and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.
How to solve problems with ICT files
- Associate the ICT file extension with the correct application.
- Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest ICT file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available NASA Ames Tools update.
- To make sure that your ICT file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
