Contribution
It adapts and extends VO standards for Planetary Science, providing a comprehensive infrastructure for data access and analysis tailored to the community's needs.
Findings
Successful implementation of VO standards in Planetary Science
Demonstrated use cases across multiple Solar System themes
Identified future development directions for VO tools in planetary research
Abstract
The VESPA data access system focuses on applying Virtual Observatory (VO) standards and tools to Planetary Science. Building on a previous EC-funded Europlanet program, it has reached maturity during the first year of a new Europlanet 2020 program (started in 2015 for 4 years). The infrastructure has been upgraded to handle many fields of Solar System studies, with a focus both on users and data providers. This paper describes the broad lines of the current VESPA infrastructure as seen by a potential user, and provides examples of real use cases in several thematic areas. These use cases are also intended to identify hints for future developments and adaptations of VO tools to Planetary Science.
