The Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) 1 satellite is in orbit and science data are
expected to commence in the near future. TWINS-1 comprises half of the TWINS stereoscopic neutral atom
imaging system that will advance our knowledge of the Earth's ring current. To support the expected data return,
we have developed a Science Data System (SDS) for the TWINS mission. The TWINS SDS is an IDL- and Java-
driven data interface that operates primarily via a web browser, and has as its spine an SQL-queryable database.
Through this interface, TWINS science data will be provided to the TWINS team, the space science community,
and the public. In this paper we present the current and future capabilities of the TWINS SDS, as well as how the
SDS fits into virtual observatory infrastructure.
