Canadian Space Science Data Portal

The CSSDP project provides space scientists with access to a wide range of space data, observations, and investigative tools. It provides a seamless, single- point of access to these resources through a custom web portal. To date, more than 350 scientists are registered users of the CSSDP portal. The project integrates data from sources such as the Canadian Geospace Monitoring Program and anticipates serving data from the NASA THEMIS satellite probes, the Canadian High-Artic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN), and the Alberta- based Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (ePOP) satellite mission. This collection and presentation of space data is used to study the influence of the sun on near- Earth space environment, including phenomena such as geomagnetic storms, which cause the northern and southern lights. Geomagnetic storms are also known for often causing power outages, disturbances in polar communications, and the failure of satellites. The effects of space weather can also cause transpolar flight paths to be diverted, adding significant fuel costs to airlines and disruptions for travellers.

CSSDP项目为空间科学家提供了广泛的空间数据、观测结果及调查工具的接入途径。该项目通过定制化的网络门户，为这些资源提供了一站式的无缝访问。截至目前，已有超过350位科学家注册成为CSSDP门户的用户。该项目整合了加拿大空间监测计划等多源数据，并预期将为NASA的THEMIS卫星探测器、加拿大高纬度电离层网络（CHAIN）以及基于阿尔伯塔的增强极区流出探测卫星任务（ePOP）提供数据服务。该空间数据的收集与展示，旨在研究太阳对近地空间环境的影响，包括地磁暴等现象，这些现象导致极光的出现。地磁暴还常导致电力中断、极地通信干扰以及卫星故障。太空天气的影响还可能导致极地航线改变，为航空公司带来显著的燃油成本增加，并对旅行者造成不便。
