Under the Hood: Lessons Learned in Mission Data Systems

Talk

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...

16. A Modular, Multi-Mission Science Data System for the Space Weather Science Operations Center

Under the Hood: Lessons Learned in Mission Data Systems

Talk

The Space Weather Science Operations Center (SWxSOC) is a multi-mission Science Operations Center currently supporting the HERMES, PADRE, REACH, and IMPAX missions. SWxSOC's Science Data System (SDS) is built around reusable, mission-configurable software and infrastructure, allowing new missions to inherit a working, low-cost, open-source pipeline instead of designing, building, and operating...

10. Lessons Learned from Building Multi-Mission Science Data Systems at the National Space Science Data Center of China

Under the Hood: Lessons Learned in Mission Data Systems

Talk

Mission Science Data Systems (SDS) are essential infrastructures for transforming spacecraft observations into accessible and usable scientific resources. However, developing and operating SDS for different space missions often requires addressing diverse mission objectives, payload configurations, data formats, processing pipelines, and operational constraints. This frequently results in...

66. PRIZM in the EZIE Science Data System: Testable L0A-L3 Product Generation and Validation

Under the Hood: Lessons Learned in Mission Data Systems

Talk

The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) uses polarized microwave measurements of molecular oxygen emission to infer magnetic perturbations associated with ionospheric currents. This contribution describes PRIZM—Polarized Radiative Transfer and Inversion for Zeeman Magnetic Imaging—the scientific-processing software developed to support and validate the connected EZIE product chain from...

59. Developing the Solar Orbiter Archive within the ESA Heliophysics Archive

Nils Janitzek (ESA)

Under the Hood: Lessons Learned in Mission Data Systems

Talk

Solar Orbiter is currently the most comprehensive ESA-led heliophysics space mission to observe the Sun and the heliosphere. The Solar Orbiter ARchive (SOAR) contains more than 5 million unique science files measured by ten instruments aboard the spacecraft. These data include high-resolution remote-sensing observations - such as the closest EUV images of the Sun ever taken and the world-first...

56. Data Pipelines using Prefect for SOLO SIS, LRO LAMP, IMAP CoDICE, and TRACERS ACI.

Under the Hood: Lessons Learned in Mission Data Systems

Talk

We have developed data pipelines using Prefect for Solar Orbiter SIS, LRO LAMP, IMAP CoDICE, and TRACERS ACI instruments.

Prefect is an orchestrator for doing data pipelines, typically in the AI/ML realm, and it turns out to a huge benefit to doing our data pipelines for space science giving us observability and metrics. Although it is not perfect, there are some reasons why it can be...
