FTS extensions is used for files that store images in Flexible Image Transport System format. FTS files are typically used in Astronomy and for medical imagining. FTS standard was approved by NASA and IAU.
FTS were originally store on magnetic tape. FTS files are used for sharing and editing scientific images. Typical FTS files contains header section that stores file metadata in plain ASCII text. Single FTS files may contains multiple images saved in different formats. FTS files also support multidimensional tables.
If you cannot open the FTS file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports FTS among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the FTS file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
The inability to open and operate the FTS file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Flexible Image Transport System Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the FTS file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the FTS file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the FTS file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.FTS) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected FTS file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the FTS file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. FTS) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
