The Planetary Surfaces Data and Services Centre (PDSSP) is a geospatial data and services center dedicated to studies and research on planetary surfaces. This center brings together several French research partners in planetology and aims to federate French expertise to index and promote mapping and archiving tools for planetary data.

The PDSSP offers a research portal to help disseminate and use high value-added data for planetary surfaces. This includes spectral data, geological maps, high-resolution images and other useful information for the scientific community and students interested in planetary studies.

The Planetary Surfaces Data and Services Centre also contributes to collaboration and interoperability between different thematic projects in the field of planetary surfaces, by providing tools, services and expertise to facilitate information exchange and collaboration between scientists and researchers.

The aim of the Planetary Surfaces Data and Services Centre (PDSSP) is to facilitate access to data and contribute to the creation of products and services by adding value to the space data available. The cluster will also serve as a mechanism for the planetary science community to share information and better understand the challenges of digital technology. It will be part of the national, European and global landscape, working closely with PSUP (Planetary Surface Portal), VESPA (Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access) and SSHADE (Solid Spectroscopy Hosting Architecture of Databases and Expertise).

 

The PDSSP's mission is to bring together existing centers to serve the planetary science community. It is based on the establishment of a spatial data infrastructure for planetary surfaces, providing access to its data. It aims to provide added value, particularly in terms of data and services in fields where data centers do not exist or need to be developed, and in terms of links with European and international systems. The aim is to strengthen the planetary science community, in synergy with the other structures in the field, by giving it access to the data it needs for its research, in accordance with the access standard
