. Scope of the data archived and served at SPDF – How SPDF ingests the data – Missions supported by SPDF . Science-enabling services provided by SPDF – Coordinated Data Analysis Web (CDAWeb) – Simulation Center Web (SSCWeb) – OMNIWeb Plus . Extensive use of SPDF data and services . Virtual discipline observatories and SPASE metadata . SPDF’s support to Solar Orbiter Scope of the Data Archived and Served at SPDF

 Two Active Final Heliophysics Archives of NASA – Solar Data Analysis Center (SDAC): Remote sensing data of the – Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF):  In situ science data of the solar , , ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere (M-ITM) from NASA heliophysics missions, including collaboration missions with other U.S. and/or foreign agencies

Scope of the Data Archived and Served at SPDF  Two Active Final Heliophysics Archives of NASA – Solar Data Analysis Center (SDAC): Remote sensing data of the Sun – Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF):  In situ science data of the , magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere (M-ITM) from NASA heliophysics missions, including collaboration missions with other U.S. and/or foreign agencies  Other data relevant to NASA heliophysics science objectives . Related data from planetary missions (e.g., MESSENGER, MAVEN) . Heliophysics data from some NOAA and LANL (e.g., GOSE) . Ground-based , cameras, radars, etc. In addition, NASA Space Science Data Coordinated Archive (NSSDCA, previously NSSDC) deep archive for old mission data is still on media

 SPDF aims to find, ingest, and preserve long-term and ensure ongoing (online) useful access to in-situ NASA heliophysics science data How SPDF Ingests the Data

. Before the data goes to public . We would like to receive the test datasets and examine the compatibility with the ISTP, SPDF, and metadata standards . We make master metadata and make sure we can plot the parameters correctly

. After the connection between SPDF and data providers is built . We have software (auto-ingest scripts) that check all the various data provider sites on a daily basis and look for new files in all directories . Any file going into CDAWeb will be validated and ingested (moved into the archive directory tree) usually later the same night or with really large volumes, maybe within 2 days
