The Indian Space Science Data Center (ISSDC) is located at the Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) Byalalu campus of ISTRAC/ISRO. ISSDC provides data ingestion, processing, archival and dissemination services to the global science community for the science missions of ISRO. ISSDC is designed to provide high computation, high capacity storage, and high bandwidth network and for secure hosting of variety of applications necessary to support all the planetary, lunar and space science missions of ISRO. ISSDC has a multi-layered architecture considering the multitude dimensions of mission requirements where each and every layer is scalable, resilient and flexible enough to serve requirements of current & future planetary and space science missions.  The primary users of this facility are the principal investigators of the science payloads. In addition to them, the data is made accessible to the scientists from other institutions and also to the general public. 

Presently, ISSDC is involved in the following major activities:

  • In AstroSat, ISSDC has played major role in bringing all the scientific institutions such as TIFR, RRI, IIA, and IUCAA to a nodal place for the harvesting of scientific data from AstroSat. At present, various activities are happening at this centre in engaging the Scientists and general public for the data utilisation from AstroSat.
  • In Megha-Tropiques, ISSDC is acting as real-time processing centre to provide the data needs of weather forecasting and atmospheric modeling institutes in India, France and USA. ISSDC has played an important role in the operationalisation of Systems Applications and Products (SAP) data.

Recently, ISSDC has released the MOM data sets belonging to the First Year of Martian Orbit. MOM Long Term Archive (LTA) is hosted to the general public and has received overwhelming response. ISSDC has hosted 1603 products acquired during the First Year of MOM operations in Martian Orbit from all the five instruments of the satellite.  ISSDC has the major challenges ahead to provide mission support for the upcoming lunar mission Chandrayaan-2, Solar mission Aditya-L1 and other future planetary and scientific missions of ISRO. To cater to the needs of a variety of missions, ISSDC has the state-of-the-art infrastructure of Storage, Processing Servers, Communication Network and advanced computation applications.
