The International Planetary Data Alliance: Progress and vision for the next decade

Résumé

In the mid-1980s, as NASA planetary exploration expanded, it became apparent that a national archive that could handle digitized data was needed. NASA launched the Planetary Data System (PDS) in 1989 after considerable planning and development. Because most of the early planetary data originated from NASA missions, the international scientific community became familiar with PDS standards. Thus, when the European Space Agency (ESA) began producing planetary science data they adopted components of the PDS standards and developed the Planetary Science Archive (PSA). This occurred under version 3 (PDS3) of the PDS Standards.The PDS and PSA worked closely together to develop standards and share data. As additional agencies began developing unique missions of interest to the international community, two needs were identified: increased cooperation and collaboration to facilitate access to the individual archives, and modernization and implementation of standards. A group of individuals involved in mission archiving within the international planetary community met in 2006 to develop a mechanism for enhancing international access and collaboration [1]. The goal of this meeting was to develop an approach that would: 1) Give scientific communities world-wide access to data archives built upon similar standards; 2) Reduce cost of archiving and distributing science data by collaborating and sharing standards; 3) Ensure reusability of science data across agency/mission/instrument boundaries; 4) Coordinate archiving processes and plans; and 5) Improve and increase access to tools and services offered.As a result of these interactions, the International Planetary Data Alliance (IPDA) was founded. Over the past decade, the IPDA has grown significantly, with shared projects focused on achieving the goals. Over twelve agencies have joined the IPDA and participate in the Steering Committee. These agencies have supported a major upgrade of the Planetary Data System standards called "PDS4". NASA and ESA are now operationally using PDS4 and all future planetary missions are adopting or planning to adopt it for archiving their data. Over the next decade, this will lay a foundation by which improved and increased access, tools, and services can be realized at a global scale. This talk will provide an overview of the IPDA and discuss opportunities to increase use, access, and interoperability as an international data science platform for planetary science research.
