ASI Space Science Data Center

ASI SPACE SCIENCE DATA CENTER

The ASI Space Science Data Center (SSDC), established in 2016, is a Research Infrastructure based on the experience gained in the previous ASDC, established in 2000, of which it has extended its activities in the field of Earth Observation and information technologies for the management of large amounts of data. The SSDC plays a key role in the enhancement of scientific data by providing services and support to users in order to promote the maximum usability of the data maintained in it and ensuring its interoperability with other national and international data centers according to internationally recognized standards, in line with the FAIR principles of Open Science.

Main Tools Quick Access

Missions

SSDC collaborates in the management of numerous Space missions. For each mission, it is available a specific page with an introduction to the mission, the related catalogs and the tools available to the scientific community.

Catalogs

For each mission managed by the center, a data catalog is available for searches based on different parameters, depending on the mission. The catalogs are divided by spectral bands.

Tools

SSDC has developed a series of tools for processing scientific data, freely available, such as the Sed Builder, Sky Explorer, Matisse tools, etc.

Quick Look

For some missions (Swift, Agile, Fermi) it is possible to preview the catalogs’ data.

Life Science

Through the dedicated website it is possible to find calls, missions, etc. related to Life Science in which ASI has been involved
