The Space Science Data Center (SSDC), a facility of the Italian Space
Agency (ASI) is a multi-mission science operations, data processing and
data archiving center that provides support to several scientific space
missions. At the moment the SSDC has significant responsibilities for a
number of high-energy astronomy/astroparticle satellites (e.g. Swift,
AGILE, Fermi, NuSTAR and AMS) and supports at different level other
missions like, Herschel and Planck.
The SSDC (formerly ASDC) was established in 2000 based on the experience built with the
management of the BeppoSAX Science Data Center.
It is located at the ASI - AGENZIA SPAZIALE ITALIANA Headquarters, Rome (Italy).
