The term "Julian Date" is already used in astronomy for something very different, and you probabaly mean day-of-year. ISO 8601 does indeed define a YYYY-DDD notation with year and day-of-year, and it seems to be widely used at least within NASA and some other space agencies for mission planning. Aastronauts care little about months and weeks, but more about days-since-mission-start. Markus -- Markus G.
