These hardcopy plots were provided as a supplement to the digital data from the Plasma Composition Experiment (NSSDC data set 77-102A-12I). A subset of the data in the digital data files is plotted in graphical form in a series of booklets, one booklet for each month of data. There are two pages of graphs for each day, and each page has a stack of 7 panels showing the variation of different parameters during the course of a 12-hour Universal Time interval. Panel 1 (top panel) shows densities of He++, He+, and O+ ions, and the "total" ion density (per cubic meter); Panel 2 shows He++/H+ density ratio; Panel 3 shows ion "thermal" energy (eV); Panel 4 shows "thermal" energy density multiplied by 2/3 along with the magnetic pressure (eV/m^3) and field strength (nT); Panel 5 shows ion drift speed (meters/sec) in the GSE X-Y plane; Panel 6 shows magnetic field elevation angle (degrees) relative to the GSE X-Y plane; Panel 7 shows ion drift angle and the magnetic longitude angle.
NSSDC is the permanent archive for NASA space science mission data: astronomy and astrophysics, solar and space plasma physics, and planetary and lunar science. As permanent archive, NSSDC teams with NASA's discipline-specific space science "active archives" which provide access to data to researchers and to the general public. NSSDC also serves as NASA's primary active archive for space physics mission data and for selected NASA astrophysics missions. It provides access to several geophysical models and to data from some non-NASA mission data. In addition to supporting active space physics and astrophysics researchers, NSSDC also supports the general public both via several public-interest web-based services (e.g., the Photo Gallery) and via the offline mailing of CD-ROMs, photoprints, and other items. NSSDC provides online information about NASA and non-NASA spacecraft and experiments, and about data management standards and technologies.
The SimDAL repository hosts numerical projects descriptions as standard XML documents following the Simulation Data Model serialization xsd. It allows clients to search (fulltext) for simulation projects or associated protocols of interest and get URIs towards other SimDAL components: SimDAL Search and SimDAL Data Access.
The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) provides a comprehensive fusion
of multi-wavelength data for hundreds of millions of objects located beyond
the Milky Way galaxy. As new observations are published in NASA mission
archives, journal articles and sky survey catalogs, they are cross-identified
with prior measurements and integrated in a unified database. Numerous derived
quantities are also provided to facilitate scientific research. For more
