Abstract

The Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov) and Solar Data Analysis Center (SDAC https://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/), as the NASA Heliophysics active final archives, will be preserving and distributing the data from Parker Solar Probe. Working in cooperation with current operating missions and the heliophysics community, SPDF ingests, preserves and serves a wide range of past and current public science-quality data from the ionosphere into the furthest reach of deep-space exploration. SPDF has been working with the Parker Solar Probe mission in preparation for archiving and serving its in-situ data starting 2019 Nov 12, and also has arrangements to serve in-situ data from Solar Orbiter when those data become public. SPDF will facilitate scientific analysis of multi-instrument and multi-mission datasets to enhance the science return of Parker Solar Probe mission. SPDF develops and maintains the Common Data Format (CDF) and the associated ISTP/SPDF metadata guidelines. SPDF services include CDAWeb, which supports both survey and burst mode data with graphics, listings and data superset/subset functions. All public data held by SPDF are also available for direct file download by HTTPS or FTPS links from the SPDF home page (https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov). SPDF is currently receiving and serving from missions including Helios, MMS, Van Allen Probes, THEMIS/ARTEMIS, GOLD, ACE, Cluster, Geotail, Polar, Wind and many others, and >120 Ground-Based investigations. SPDF recently added support for ARASE/ERG and MAVEN as supplementary access at the requests of those missions. SPDF also operates the multi-mission orbit displays and query services of SSCWeb and the Java-based 4D Orbit Viewer, as well as the Heliophysics Data Portal (HDP) discipline-wide data inventory and access service, and the OMNIweb near-Earth solar wind plasma and magnetic field database.
