Exploitation of ISS Scientific data EGI-Aparsen Workshop March Science Park– Amsterdam – The Netherlands Cooperative ISS Research data Conservation and Exploitation

March EGI-Aparsen Workshop2 Motivation for space data preservation Peculiarity of space experiments:  Space data is precious and has very relevant scientific value  Need for Preservation and Exploitation  a wide range of scientific domains is involved  the preparation time is very long  space missions are very expensive  repetition/extension of successful experiments also requires long time and is expensive  space experiments are selected by a rigorous peer review  Data preservation will allow the scientific community to easily retrieve and use data, also in the long term, through a simple and unique access point

March EGI-Aparsen Workshop3 Courtesy of ESA International Space Station  ISS allows research in many different scientific disciplines, as:  astronomy  radiation physics  plasma physics  space technology  astrobiology  atmosphere and environment  human physiology and medicine  material science  fluid science & combustion  biology  ISS exploitation is part of the ESA ELIPS programme exposed pressurized  The International Space Station is the largest laboratory for conducting research in space

March EGI-Aparsen Workshop13 Roadmap  Drivers:  achievement of a common vision of data preservation among ISS partners, in terms of data policy, common services, functionalities and processes  data preservation must be science-driven; objectives, services and functionalities must meet the needs of the user communities  best use of available funding sources through coordinated programmes (within ESA, Horizon 2020 and national programmes)  existing national and international assets must be exploited

March EGI-Aparsen Workshop14 Roadmap  Main steps:  0.Temporarily preservation collection and archive of raw data (telemetry) and documentation  1.Approach to data preservation define common strategies for contents collection and validation, a common policy for data use, guidelines for metadata and ontologies  2.System specifications and design  3.Data preservation develop and release tools and components for data preservation  4.Data access develop and release tools and components for data access  5.Support data exploitation provision of full se of services for data exploitation

March EGI-Aparsen Workshop15 Roadmap  Implementation approach:  Temporarily preservation ESA LTDP Programme  Approach to data preservation  1. System specifications and design  2. Data preservation  3. Data access  Support data exploitation H2020 Coordination Action H2020 R&I Action H2020 Support & Coordination Action
