CCE Science Data Center (SDC)

The CCE Science Data Center (SDC), built around a VAXserver 3400 and several other VAX 3000-series workstations located at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, is the central, dedicated data processing and analysis facility for the CCE. All mission data have been processed into science analysis files and archived (more than 120 Gbytes) at this facility. All scientific computing and graphics generation by the CCE science teams is similarly carried out at the SDC, with teams accessing the SDC either locally or remotely via leased line, network, or dial-up connections. The SDC allows each CCE scientist to access quickly and use all of the mission data, ephemeris and attitude files, events and command logs, data indexes, and a number of utilities designed to make data access, analysis, and display easier.
