This month, NASA's IceBridge mission will debut the new, IU-designed in-flight data copy system for instantly processing and archiving polar ice sheet data collected by radar systems in its DC-8 aircraft. IceBridge, a six-year NASA mission, is the largest airborne survey of Earth's polar ice.

PTI is developing the Web-based science gateway, called the ODI Pipeline, Portal and Archive, to help researchers pool resources and analyze, manipulate and store data from the WIYN One Degree Imager. It leverages IU's Data Capacitor and Scholarly Data Archives systems for storage, and XSEDE for computation. Once data are moved to and archived at the IU Data Center, astronomers will no longer need to transfer all the intermediate stages of their data to their home computers. Instead, they'll be able to work in a cloud configuration, downloading only their final results.
