ACE SCIENCE CENTER
The ACE Science Center (ASC) serves to facilitate collaborative work on data from the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft and to ensure that those data are properly archived and publicly available. The collaborators served are not limited to ACE project-funded investigators.
The primary functions of the ACE Science Center are to handle Level 1 and Browse Data processing for the ACE Mission, and to distribute science data from ACE to the community. Other functions performed by the Science Center include preparing all science data for archiving at the NASA Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) and acting as the archive for all ACE data during the lifetime of the mission. The ASC also acts as an interface between the project scientists and the Flight Operations Team. The Science Center's centralized services are intended to guarantee appropriate use of data formatting standards, improve communications, and reduce redundant effort in data processing.
