AB: The Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) within Goddard's Heliospheric Physics Laboratory has worked closely with the THEMIS team to adapt SPDF's orbit and data tools/services to the special needs of the THEMIS mission. We will explain and demonstrate these systems that now include Level-2 data from the THEMIS ground and space instruments and the latest orbits and orbit predictions. CDAWeb now serves current FluxGate Magnetometer (FGM), ElectroStatic Analyzer (ESA), Solid-State Telescope (SST), Electric Field Instrument (EFI) and Search Coil Magnetometer (SCM) data from all 5 THEMIS spacecraft and magnetometer data from 20+ THEMIS ground stations. CDAWeb displays include line plots and spectrograms and outputs are now also available in PDF and Postscript. The latest version of the 3-D interactive orbit viewer now includes the capability to follow the magnetic ground tracks of the THEMIS satellites and their relation to the THEMIS ground stations making it an excellent tool for the coordinated analysis of THEMIS space and ground data. The SSCWeb system allows complex queries involving magnetic conjunctions between satellites and between satellites and ground stations, and region occupancy. Several THEMIS-specific queries were set up and saved and are now available for easy (one click) usage. THEMIS is utilizing the Common Data Format (CDF) for its data products, a format developed and maintained by SPDF and the backbone of the CDAWeb system. A number of CDF routines were customized for most efficient use by the THEMIS team.
