Virtual Space Physics Observatory (VSPO)
The Virtual Space Physics Observatory (VSPO) is an evolving system for making data easily available from all missions relevant to the global problem of the effects of solar particles and fields on the Earth. The VSPO is one of several efforts towards the Living With A Star Data Environment (LWSDE).
Current plans at both at NASA and in the Sun-Earth connection community include making data easily available from all missions relevant to the global problem of the effects of solar particles and fields on the Earth and the solar system (a "Heliophysics Great Observatory"). The VSPO is an evolving system for accomplishing this task. The basic philosophy, shared with the Virtual Solar Observatory and many other such projects, is to register data products from disparate repositories using a common language that allows searching across datasets, retrieving data, and performing analysis and visualization in a uniform way.
