Remarks
NASA’s Heliophysics Science Division at NASA Headquarters issued a revised Heliophysics Science Data Management Policy (see https://smd-cms.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/hpd-data-policy-final-20230202.pdf). This revised policy redefined the Heliophysics role of the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard to be solely that of a “deep archive” and defined a new role for the Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) to be one of two “active Final Archives” charged to work with NASA Headquarters to ensure the long-term accessibility and availability of all important NASA heliophysics data. The SPDF service gateway allows users to access data through a number of different data services while also providing information on which spacecraft are accessible through which services and to which space physics disciplines data services and spacecraft belong.
