The ACE Science Center

The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) mission is supported by the ACE Sci ence Center for the purposes of processing and distributing ACE data, and f acilitating collaborative work on the data by instrument investigators and by the space physics community at large. The Science Center will strive to ensure that the data an properly archived and easily available. In particul ar, it is intended that use of a centralized science facility will guarante e appropriate use of data formatting standards, thus easing access to the d ata, will improve communications within and to the ACE science working team , and will reduce redundant effort in data processing. Secondary functions performed by the Science Center include acting as an interface between the scientists and the mission operations team.
