Not listed WE PROPOSE TO PROVIDE AN ORGANIZED DOCUMENTED AND TRANSPARENT ARCHIVE OF PLANETARY MISSION DATA FOR THE SCIENCE COMMUNITY AND ENTIRE WORLD THROUGH THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF NASAS PLANETARY DATA SYSTEM PDS ATMOSPHERES NODE AT NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY. THE ATMOSPHERES NODE WILL MAXIMIZE NASAS RETURN ON ITS INVESTMENT IN PLANETARY EXPLORATION AND WILL AID IN THE EXPANSION OF KNOWLEDGE OF ALL COMMUNITIES. OUR TEAM IS UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE TO THE PLANETARY SCIENCE COMMUNITY DUE TO OUR COLLECTIVE EXPERTISE IN PLANETARY ATMOSPHERES OUR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PDS4 OUR HISTORY IN WORKING WITH MISSIONS AND OUR PROPOSED INITIATIVES FOR IMPROVING THE PROCESSES FOR ARCHIVING HIGHER ORDER DATA PRODUCTS AND IMPROVING ACCESS TO DATA BY USERS. THE DATA WE WILL CURATE IN THE ATMOSPHERES NODE ATMOS CONSIST OF HISTORICAL DATA ALREADY IN THE ATMOS ARCHIVE DATA FROM CURRENT MISSIONS THAT ARE ACTIVELY ARCHIVING IN ATMOS AND DATA FROM FUTURE MISSIONS WITH AT LEAST ONE INSTRUMENT THAT WILL YIELD ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE DATA. THE HISTORICAL AND CURRENT MISSION DATA COMPRISE AN ARCHIVE APPROXIMATELY 3.6 TB IN SIZE ARISING FROM MISSIONS TO EVERY PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND ACQUIRED OVER A TIME PERIOD OF MORE THAN 40 YEARS. THE FUTURE DATA WE WILL ARCHIVE WILL LIKELY DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE ATMOS HOLDINGS AND WILL BE PROVIDED BY MAVEN INSIGHT MARS2020 CASSINI JUNO THE EUROPA CLIPPER AND ATMOSPHERIC COMPONENTS OF YET TO BE DETERMINED DISCOVERY AND OR NEW FRONTIERS MISSIONS. IN ADDITION WE WILL ARCHIVE A RANGE OF GROUND BASED DATA ACQUIRED IN SUPPORT OF NASA MISSIONS AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF DERIVED OR HIGHER ORDER DATA PRODUCTS. THE ATMOSPHERES NODE HAS PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PDS4 AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. AS THE PDS UNDERGOES THE CURRENT TRANSITION TO THE PDS4 ARCHIVE STANDARDS ATMOS HAS EXPANDED ITS STANDARD ARCHIVING EFFORTS TO INCLUDE A WORKING WITH NEW MISSIONS AS FIRST USE CASES OF THE NEW PDS4 SYSTEM B WORKING WITH THE PDS ENGINEERING NODE EN ON THE ONGOING DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF NEW PDS4 SOFTWARE USING ATMOS DATA AS TEST CASES AND C LEADING THE MIGRATION EFFORT TO EXERCISE NEWLY DEVELOPED PDS4 SOFTWARE AND TOOLS WITH THE LONGER TERM GOAL OF MIGRATING THE MAJORITY OF THE ATMOS HOLDINGS TO THE PDS4 SYSTEM. OUR ARCHIVE FOCUS IS TO FULLY IMPLEMENT THE PDS4 CAPABILITIES WHILE MAKING DATA PROVISION AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE AND DATA ACCESS AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE. WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SEVERAL INNOVATIVE APPROACHES THE LABELING AND REGISTRATION OF RESOURCE PRODUCT PAGES THE DEVELOPMENT OF MISSION SPECIFIC HELP PAGES THE POPULATION OF CROSS MISSION MATRICES FOCUSED ON SCIENCE GOALS AND THE PROVISION OF MULTIPLE DOWNLOAD OPTIONS FOR A PARTICULAR DATA SET TAILORED TO THE INTERESTS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE USER. EXAMPLES OF TOOLS THAT WE WILL DEVELOP AT ATMOS OVER THE PROPOSED AWARD PERIOD INCLUDE A TOOL TO ASSIST DATA PROVIDERS IN SETTING UP THEIR PDS4 BUNDLES A PDS4 ARCHIVING EFFORT QUANTIFICATION TOOL A DOCUMENTATION ASSESSMENT TOOL A PDS3 TO PDS4 TRANSLATOR TOOL AND THE EASY LABELING SYSTEM FOR ATMOSPHERES. THE ATMOSPHERES NODE HAS BEEN LOCATED AT NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1995. ATMOS ALSO WILL MAKE USE OF A SEVEN MEMBER ADVISORY GROUP WHOSE MEMBERS HAVE BOTH EXPERTISE IN A WIDE RANGE OF ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE RESEARCH AREAS AND EXPERIENCE WITH THE PDS. THE PDS ATMOSPHERES NODE AT NMSU HAS BEEN AND WILL REMAIN COMMITTED TO BROADENING THE PARTICIPATION OF UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN NASA SPACE SCIENCE MISSIONS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. NMSU IS A DESIGNATED ACCREDITED POSTSECONDARY MINORITY INSTITUTION AND AS SUCH IS THE ONLY MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTION WITH MAJOR REPRESENTATION WITHIN THE PDS.
