Outer Planets Data Analysis Program (OPDAP)

The ROSES 2009 Outer Plantes Data Analysis Program Appendix C.7, specifies that:

"The Outer Planets Research (OPR) program supports diverse scientific investigations that contribute to the understanding of the outer Solar System, including the giant planets, their satellites, and smaller solid bodies including comets, asteroids, and Kuiper Belt objects. The program includes both data analysis from NASA missions and fundamental research.The use of flight mission data in proposed investigations is limited to the New Horizons, Cassini, Galileo, Voyager, Pioneer, and Ulysses missions. However, investigators proposing cometary research may also use data from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) mission, which has successfully observed dozens of Sun-grazing comets. Investigators may also propose to use data from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) mission to support research of objects in the outer Solar System "

The research solicitation states:

It is the responsibility of the investigators selected for this program to acquire any needed data. Therefore, before submitting a proposal, the investigator must determine that all data required for the proposed investigation are publicly available. Proposals requiring the use of data that are not publicly available at the time of proposal submission may be rejected without review. Proposals dealing with mission data should provide convincing evidence that the data has sufficient quality and is available in sufficient quantity to achieve the goals set forth in the proposal.

Mission data are available from the Planetary Data System (PDS).

Other Data Within PDS

Data from the various instruments are curated and maintained by PDS Discipline Nodes for which the data is relevant. Those nodes generally provide data set and discipline specific information.

The following Discipline Nodes have additional information:

Ancillary data (SPICE files) can be obtained from the NAIF Node
