AB: The Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) at NASA GSFC has developed a strong foundation in space science mission services and data for enhancing the scientific return of space physics research and enabling integration of these services into the emerging NASA Virtual Observatory paradigm. Our vision is that distributed components of a space physics virtual observatory work together via standard interfaces and metadata agreements to form a globally unified system, comparable to a single super-instrument from a multi-mission ensemble of many data sources. Such a unitary (but not monolithic) view presents geophysical measurements and models across time and space, enabling researchers to easily and seamlessly analyze data from many more sources than possible before. We are providing a critical set of foundation components, leveraging our data format expertise and our existing and very popular science and orbit data web-based services, such as Coordinated Data Analysis Web (CDAWeb) and Satellite Situation Center Web (SSCweb). We have added web services for orbit location, data finding across FTP sites and in CDAWeb, data file format translation, and display. These services can now tie together existing data holdings, standardize and simplify their use, and enable much enhanced interoperability and data analysis.
