“…VESPA is providing an infrastructure to search for data products based on science content and coverage query parameters. This is enabled through a data model called EPNcore (Europlanet core metadata; Erard et al, ), coupled with the Table Access Protocol (Dowler et al, ) developed and maintained by the IVOA. Many HP related data collections are available through the VESPA query interfaces (either the main VESPA query portal, http://vespa.obspm.fr, or from interfaces embedded in tools, such as in AMDA [Automated Multi‐Dataset Analysis; http://amda.irap.omp.eu from the CDPP]).…”

The SPASE Data Model: A Metadata Standard for Registering, Finding, Accessing, and Using Heliophysics Data Obtained From Observations and Modeling

The Space Physics Archive Search and Extract Consortium has developed and implemented the SPASE Data Model that provides a common language for registering a wide range of Heliophysics data and other products. The Data Model enables discovery and access tools such that any researcher can obtain data easily, thereby facilitating research, including on space weather. The Data Model includes descriptions of Simulation Models and Numerical Output, pioneered by the Integrated Medium for Planetary Exploration (IMPEx) group in Europe, and subsequently adopted by the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). The SPASE group intends to register all relevant Heliophysics data resources, including space‐, ground‐, and model‐based. Substantial progress has been made, especially for space‐based observational data and associated observatories, instruments, and display data. Legacy product registrations and access go back more than 50 years. Real‐time data will be included. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) portion of the SPASE group has funding that assures continuity in the upkeep of the Data Model and aids with adding new products. Tools are being developed for making and editing data descriptions. Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for Data Products can now be included in the descriptions. The data access that SPASE facilitates is becoming more uniform, and work is progressing on Web Service access via a standard Application Programming Interface. The SPASE Data Model is stable; changes over the past 9 years were additions of terms and capabilities that are backward compatible. This paper provides a summary of the history, structure, use, and future of the SPASE Data Model.

Voyager/PRA (Planetary Radio Astronomy) data from digitized tapes archived at CNES have been reprocessed and recalibrated. The data cover the Jupiter and Saturn flybys of both Voyager probes. We have also reconstructed goniopolarimetric datasets (flux and polarization) at full resolution. These datasets are currently not available to the scientific community, but they are of primary interest for the analysis of the Cassini data at Saturn, and the Juno data at Jupiter, as well as for the preparation of the JUICE mission. We present the first results derived from the re-analysis of this dataset.

“…Also, a number of projects funded by the European Commission are directly or indirectly relevant to planetary mapping. The largest, and one of the most long-lasting efforts, is VESPA (Erard et al, 2014(Erard et al, , 2017, the EuroPlanet H2020 Research Infrastructure component that deals with accessibility and distribution of planetary science data from very diverse scientific domains, including a specific surface mapping task . E-Infrastructure projects with broad Earth Science focus, such as EarthServer-2, include a Planetary Science component, PlanetServer (Baumann et al, 2015;Rossi et al, 2016).…”

ABSTRACT:Planetary Cartography does not only provides the basis to support planning (e.g., landing-site selection, orbital observations, traverse planning) and to facilitate mission conduct during the lifetime of a mission (e.g., observation tracking and hazard avoidance). It also provides the means to create science products after successful termination of a planetary mission by distilling data into maps. After a mission's lifetime, data and higher level products like mosaics and digital terrain models (DTMs) are stored in archives -and eventually into maps and higher-level data products -to form a basis for research and for new scientific and engineering studies. The complexity of such tasks increases with every new dataset that has been put on this stack of information, and in the same way as the complexity of autonomous probes increases, also tools that support these challenges require new levels of sophistication. In planetary science, cartography and mapping have a history dating back to the roots of telescopic space exploration and are now facing new technological and organizational challenges with the rise of new missions, new global initiatives, organizations and opening research markets. The focus of this contribution is to summarize recent activities in Planetary Cartography, highlighting current issues the community is facing to derive the future opportunities in this field. By this we would like to invite cartographers/researchers to join this community and to start thinking about how we can jointly solve some of these challenges. * Corresponding author.
