“…In the short-term, the on-going installation of an EPN-TAP data service on the PSA (Martinez et al, 2016;Macfarlane et al, 2017) will make all European Solar System space archives readily searchable via VESPA. This will in particular allow for cross searches between several instruments on the same mission (e. g., simultaneous images and spectra), between similar types of observations from several spacecraft (e. g. images of a given region of Mars through time), and between space borne and groundbased observations, or experimental measurements (e. g., mineral spectroscopy) (Fig.…”

The VESPA data access system focuses on applying Virtual Observatory (VO) standards and tools to Planetary Science. Building on a previous EC-funded Europlanet program, it has reached maturity during the first year of a new Europlanet 2020 program (started in 2015 for 4 years). The infrastructure has been upgraded to handle many fields of Solar System studies, with a focus both on users and data providers. This paper describes the broad lines of the current VESPA infrastructure as seen by a potential user, and provides examples of real use cases in several thematic areas. These use cases are also intended to identify hints for future developments and adaptations of VO tools to Planetary Science.

“…The first data archive system is Planetary Data System (PDS), that is created and maintained by NASA in response to scientists' requests for improved availability of planetary data from NASA missions, with increased scientific involvement and oversight (McMahon 1996). Then, ESA establish Planetary Science Archive (PSA) (Besse et al 2018;Macfarlane et al 2018) for its own planetary exploration missions, such as Mars Express (Schmidt 2003). The Japanese Aerospace eXploration Agency (JAXA) also organized its science data sets exploration of the Solar System in an archive (Haruyama et al 2012;Hoshino et al 2010), as have the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) (Goswami and Annadurai 2009).…”

The Tianwen-1 mission is China’s first Mars exploration mission. To complete the scientific objectives of “orbiting, landing, and patrolling” in one mission, thirteen instruments for acquiring multi-disciplinary data are configured. The data products with rich ancillary data and flexible structures will facilitate the data application. To integrate the requirements of experts from disparate disciplines and leverage new information technologies, a complete redesign of data products is promoted in the Tianwen-1 mission. We discuss the whole process of data product generation from the data pipeline design to data validation. We design the various data products according to the application requirements of each data type, including radar echo data, spectrum data, image data, energy spectrum data, magnetic field data, meteorological data, and acoustic data. Since various error sources will exist in the generation chain of the data products, data validation is essential before release to the public; the validation activities are discussed at the end. We deliver these scientific products to the community in a timely manner, with ancillary information and quality information. This paper can provide practical reference for Tianwen-1 data application.
