The Fermi Science Support Center

The Fermi Science Support Center (FSSC) serves as the primary interface between the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope mission and the scientific community. The FSSC supports the planning and scheduling of science observations and maintains an archive of all publicly accessible Fermi data products (currently this is primarily data from the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM), but will ultimately include all Fermi data products). The FSSC also maintains and distributes data analysis software and associated documentation as well as providing technical and scientific support. In addition, the FSSC is administering the guest investigator program for NASA Headquarters and provides proposal preparation tools and documentation. We present an overview of the FSSC's role in each of these activities.
