The Permanent EUVE Mission Archive

Based on input from the EUVE User's Committee, CEA is planning the strategy for the implementation of an innovative and state-of-the-art permanent EUVE mission archive. Because there are no similar missions planned in the near future, it is expected that this permanent archive will have a lifetime of at least 15 years. In order to meet the needs of the expected user community---scientists, technologists, and educators---during this time, the permanent archive will consist of multiple levels. Each level will reflect a different degree of processing and reduction, and each will include the relevant data, software, documentation, and indexing information. This poster will outline the permanent archive in detail: the various archive levels, their individual contents, the standards used (e.g., FITS), the available access points, and the applicable data delivery mechanisms.
