The ERG The ERG Science Center ERG –science center ERG - satellite data ERG - ground data ERG - modeling data All science data are archived with CDF IDL/SPEDAS is a project data analysis software. Collaboration with THEMIS SPEDAS has included the ERG-plugin tools. (210MM magnetometer, SuperDARN radars etc) users L-2/3 data will be opened to the public via ERG-science center.

Summary -The ERG project is now going; the satellite will be launched in Data of the ERG ground network observations have been archived with CDF format and opened to the public. The software for the data analysis has been developed with THEMIS team. SPEDAS has included several plug-in tools for ERG data -Conjunction event finder will be helpful for the coordinated observations between satellites and ground observations.
