The Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes

Public talk given at the Space Telescope Science Institute on the Multimission (now Mikulski) Archive

Transcript

1. The Multimission Archive at the Space Telescope Science Institute
2. Established in 1997 as NASA’s Optical and Ultraviolet Data Archive Supports Active missions: HST, GALEX, Kepler,... Legacy missions: IUE, FUSE, EUVE,... Optical & UV Data Archive
3. The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) & IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) Archive Centers Publications X-ray and Gamma Ray Infrared
4. World-wide technical and scientific leadership in archive system design Secure storage and reliable retrieval services for data from HST and all MAST-supported missions User-friendly and scientifically useful search and cross-correlation tools Development and support for inter-archive communication and data transfer standards MAST
5. Optimize the science from community-led astrophysics missions and projects. Develop, nurture, and share innovations in space astronomy science operations. Collaborate on the next generation of space astrophysics programs. MAST/STScI
