1 ASI - Italian Space Agency The Space Science Data Center is a Research Infrastructure of the Italian Space Agency Geophysics, Geology, Physics of atmosphere Astronomy, Astrophysics, Solar System Exploration

2 ASI - Italian Space Agency Space Science Data Center Universe Observation Information & Computing Technologies Earth Observation

3 SSDC Scientific Expertise At present, SSDC team involves around 40 people: scientists from ASI, INAF, INFN and SW engineers from Telespazio & SERCO, expert in different fields. Earth Observation (under construction) High Energy Astrophysics Astro Particle Physics & Cosmic Rays ASDC Cosmology Computing & Archiving Techniques Solar System Exploration Stellar Astrophysics Effective approach: Developers and Users belong to same communities.

4 SSDC Science Gateway Science Tools allow the on-line access to data within a multifrequency environment SSDC is involved in 25 missions: 8 in operation 9 future 8 past On-line Access to Space Missions Data Archives

5 SSDC Experience Big Data & Data Mining Data Processing Data Fusion Multi-wavelength context Data Distribution Virtual Observatory Science Mission Mirroring & Archiving ASDC Online Tool Analysis Development Long term data preservation Support to the Scientific Community High impact of scientific return in terms of publications

6 SSDC & MULTIMESSENGER ASTRONOMY SSDC contributions to the Gravitational Astronomy are several due to the presence of data from many satellites and are very different depending on the specific roles played within the different missions: AGILE: Real-time search for new transients in the gamma-ray sky and fast release of coordinates Gaia: identifying new transients in the sky by cross-matching Gaia catalog and exploiting the collection of SSDC catalogs at all wavelengths. Fermi: Real-time search for new transients, study of possible sources of GW. MAGIC/CTA: Search for new transients in the VHE gamma-ray sky, fast release of coordinates, study of the observed sources. SWIFT: Search and follow-up of X-ray transients, release of coordinates, studies of X-ray properties of the observed sources. Ground based facilities: Real-time search for new transients in the gamma-ray sky and fast release of coordinates

7 Not only Waves at SSDC AGILE gamma-ray transient consistent with the ICECUBE event Lucarelli et al., ApJ 846 AGL J ICECUBE (T0 1.8; T0 0.8) days No known blazars/lat sources found inside the ICECUBE / AGL J error circles

8 SSDC EO: CSES - LIMADOU SSDC is going to act as the Scientific Ground Segment of the Chinese mission CSES (China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite) with the Italian participation (ASI + INFN) LIMADOU. The mission is dedicated to explore terrestrial electric and magnetic fields. SSDC will process data from Lev0 to Lev2 of LIMADOU payload and will allow access to the EU scientific community to Lev2 data of all other instruments of CSES.

9 A pilot project in SSDC to support EO scientific research. The project is aimed to allow access to a subset of COSMO-SkyMed data (MapItaly) as well as scientific products (velocity maps) obtained in collaboration with CNR and INFN. Displacement [cm] SSDC - EO EO Scientific Gateway 2015 DATA Archive 2016 Time [year] 2017 Scientific Products raw data INFN HPC data analysis sw

10 SSDC Information & Computing Technology The SSDC ICT office is devoted to support both data archiving and data analysis techniques in SSDC. Research & Development activities in ICT play an important role for this office in view of the Big Data management. The Artificial Intelligence for Astronomy (AIfA) project is carried on together with the GeoInformation Dept. at University of Tor Vergata, INAF, E4 within the H2020 ASTERICS Project. AIfA aims to develop new algorithms for image analysis for astronomy, astroparticle and Earth observation using Deep Neural Networks.

11 SSDC: a glance to the future SSDC will provide the data analysis software for the NASA IXPE mission dedicate to X-ray polarimetry. SSDC is part of the EUCLID Scientific Ground Segment with the role of preparing the pipelines for reduction and analysis of the NIR photometry. SSDC is part of the PLATO2.0 Scientific Ground Segment with the role of preparing the input catalog for the mission. LIMADOU: SSDC as SGS (ASI+INFN) SSDC will host the Scientific Data Center of the ESA Project FlyEye Telescope. A set of wide-field telescopes (6.7 x6.7 ) world wide distributed aimed to search for NEO but able LIMADOU to imaging the variable sky down to 20.5 mag. SSDC will host the Scientific Ground Segment of the ASI-INAF mission HERMES. A constellation of nano satellites dedicated to detect gamma ray transient phenomena.
