The Solar Data Analysis Center develops and maintains scientific research infrastructure that supports the science questions and focus areas of NASA's Heliophysics Science Division, including space weather. The SDAC curates and makes available data from recent and current space-based solar-physics missions, funds and hosts the SolarSoft software library, and leads the Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO) data search project.
The SDAC develops the Helioviewer Project, a solar physics data visualization project, including the Helioviewer.org client. The SDAC is also involved in developing new computational environments for advanced and collaborative data analysis, new tools linking researchers to data, and improving metadata standards to increase collaboration and scientific return.
The SDAC is based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
The SDAC is a member of the Heliophysics Digital Research Library.
