SUMMARY

Combining various space and ground-based observations opens up new possibilities in astronomy. However, analysing different types of data stored in different archives around the globe is associated with major challenges. Even if licenced under the Open Research Data standard, data cannot be used by most scientists because they don’t have access to the super computing facilities where they are stored.

In order to facilitate access to, and analysis of, data, AstroORDAS develops cloud-based services and data products for several space-based missions such as INTEGRAL, Polar, GAIA, Euclid or CHEOPS, and ground-based observatories such as the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory CTA or the Square Kilometer Array Observatory SKAO.
