AB: There are common requirements for data centers serving as data providers, which greatly influence the capabilities of a virtual observatory. The NEAR Science Data Center (SDC) provided all of the common data distribution and archive services for the science teams and Mission Operations and subsystem engineering teams for the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous mission. Lessons learned in determining and meeting these requirements will be presented. The SDC was able to meet the NEAR mission's requirements to minimize costs while maintaining high quality, by combining the software development and operational costs for providing these services. The SDC provided core services for telemetry data handling at launch and then extended these services during the cruise to Eros, to include science, engineering and supporting data products, from all spacecraft data sets. Mission Operations will be described from SDC user's view. These include the major products and services provided to the Science teams, Mission Operations Center, engineering teams and pubic network data users through the course of the mission.
