Talk Under the Hood: Lessons Learned in Mission Data Systems Session 6

Speaker

J. Marcus Hughes (Southwest Research Institute)

Description

The Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) is a NASA small explorer mission studying the inner heliosphere via four satellites creating a synthetic observatory. In this talk, we use the standard "Mission Science Data Systems" template to discuss the status of the PUNCH mission. We highlight the science processing code design and functionality of the pipeline automation with the aim of identifying areas where code and design reuse are possible.
