WP10: Data Distribution (Research and technological development)

Objectives

WP 10 aims at setting up standard methods and tools to access the databases in the frame VO or SPICE contexts.

Description of work

Task 10.1: Astrometric database

Developing tools and interfaces to access filtered astrometric data. Task carried out by IMCCE

Task 10.2: Rotation database

Developing tools and interfaces to access rotation database. Task carried out by IMCCE and TUB

Task 10.3: SPC and SAT kernels

Implementation of the SPC and SAT kernels into the SPICE library. Task carried out by IMCCE

Task 10.4: Map images

Developing tools and interfaces to access map images. Task carried out by TUB

Task 10.5: Topography

Developing tools and interfaces to access map images. Task carried out by TUB

Task 10.6: Planetary Constants

This task aims at compiling planetary and satellite constants, e.g. size, shape, and rotation (rotational axis orientation, rotational rate, librations), gravity parameters, definition of the prime meridian, and to make these data available in consistent form via internet. Task carried out by TUB and DLR.

Task 10.7: Interface with EuroPlaNet IDIS

EuroPlaNet (supported through FP7) has developed a sophisticated scheme for data dissemination and distribution, IDIS (Integrated and Distributed Information Service). Where appropriate, IDIS will be used for data distribution of this project. An interface to IDIS will be developed and operated through the time of the project. Task carried out by DLR.
