3.4.3 Solar and Heliospheric Physics Branch (Code 7680) Support

3.4.3.1 Introduction

The Solar and Heliospheric Physics branch conducts a multifaceted program in observational and theoretical research in solar physics and space physics. This is accomplished through the development, operation, and analysis of data from space based sensors incorporating optical, and detector technologies. This research includes the generation of engineering documentation as well as the collection and analyses of large volumes of scientific data from such missions/spacecraft as the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), Hinode, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Parker Solar Probe (PSP), Solar Orbiter (SolO), Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO), Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope as well as space flight instruments such as the Ultraviolet Spectro-Coronagraph (UVSC) and the Compact Coronagraph (CCOR). In support of this research the Branch maintains an office automation environment of a total of 300 hosts (PCs, MACs, LINUX, Solaris) with a supporting array of printer/plotters. The branch supports ground system software development using ITOS for projects such as LASCO, SECCHI, WISPR, and SOLOHI. Customized software, Epiware software is used in data collection and management support for various projects.

Scientific analyses are supported by a cluster of Linux computers (a) to process the spacecraft telemetry data in near-real time (b) to process archival data not in real-time and (c) to serve the processed data to the Web and LINUX storage arrays of 75 TBytes. A tape backup system is used to backup and archive data and software products.

3.4.3.2 Requirements

The Contractor shall provide system management, mission support and expertise in handling the processing and rapid dissemination of terabytes of space science data generated by a fleet of spacecraft instrumentation that are operated by a variety of sponsoring and operational agencies.

These agencies can include NASA or NOAA as well as the European Space Agency and the Contractor needs to be able to accommodate the differences in data security and data availability requirements imposed by these agencies. In addition to this mission support, other duties shall include system software updates and security patches, user account generation and maintenance, data backup operations, system hardware and software troubleshooting and repair, setup and maintenance of a large-format multi-monitor video display system.
