Abstract:
The primary data and orbit services of NASA’s Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) now or soon to be supporting direct and correlative analysis of MMS survey and burst science data products are discussed in the McGuire et.al. paper “SPDF Data and Orbit Services Supporting Open Access, Use and Archiving of MMS Data.” This present paper will review additional services and elements of the SPDF program relevant to SPDF’s support of MMS and SPDF’s broader long-term role as an active heliophysics final archive.

Specific topics include

- Additional detail on options and APIs for accessing data in SPDF;

- Status and plans for the Common Data Format (CDF) and ISTP/SPDF metadata standard, including extension of the metadata standard to planned science data in netCDF from the upcoming GOLD and ICON missions;

- Future missions to be supported by SPDF;

- Overview and status of MMS and other data descriptions in the Heliophysics Data Portal (HDP)/Virtual Space Physics Observatory (VSPO)

- Status and plans for the OMNI database and services, as baseline solar wind data for interpreting magnetospheric data such as that of MMS;

- An overview of SPDF’s ingest and archiving architecture, including our ongoing effort to bring online legacy heliophysics data originally archived at NSSDC.

 All SPDF data and services are available from the SPDF home page at http://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov .
