    ASPIS

    The Italian Space Agency has produced a Space Weather (SWE) roadmap ([RD-2]) for a long-term strategy to support the future scientific research of SWE, and the development of a related national scientific data centre for Space Weather, called ASI SPace Weather InfraStructure (ASPIS), while reinforcing the interactions and synergies among the SWE Italian groups, and organizing them in a strong collaborative environment. The ASPIS system is hosted in the ASI SSDC infrastructure.

    ASPIS for science

    From a scientific point of view, ASPIS addresses problems related to the origin and evolution of solar eruptive events, their propagation and impacts through an unprecedented, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and integrated approach. This encompasses the whole chain of phenomena from the Sun to the Earth, as well as to other planets. In this endeavour, it will be crucial to exploit a variety of products (datasets, codes, models), which ultimately populate the ASPIS system. ASPIS unifies multiple SWE resources in a flexible architecture to allow users to perform advanced scientific studies, both through a web interface, and a dedicated SW package called ASPIS.py. A keyword, metadata-based system enhances search capabilities, especially as data volume grows with recorded events. The ASPIS system is open-source, allowing researchers to study problems that span across disciplinary boundaries. It creates an environment where scientists can discover, understand, and model the connection between solar phenomena, interplanetary disturbances, and their impacts on the planets (especially the Earth).

    ASI-SSDC context

    The Space Science Data Center of the Italian Space Agency has its roots in the early ’90s with the Data Center of the BeppoSax X-ray astronomy satellite, then evolved into the ASI Science Data Center (ASDC), established in 2000 as a multi-mission facility linked to high-energy astrophysics data managing and exploitation. The two distinctive scopes of SSDC are the archiving, analysis, distribution of space mission data, and the development of scientific tools to extract high-level scientific information from the data of interest. These goals have been traditionally accomplished by following an “operative approach” involving both scientists and industrial partners. The centre is constituted by personnel from the Italian Space Agency, the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), and the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), with an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) support provided by industrial partners (that currently are Telespazio and Serco). This approach allowed for the development of software tools oriented to the real scientists needs. Indeed, some of these tools have become milestones for the relevant scientific communities, such as the Multi Mission Interactive Archive (MMIA), the SED (Spectral Energy Distribution) Tool and MATISSE.
