Astrophysical Data Facility
(ADF)

subject fact

Astrophysical Data Facility has acronym ADF 2001-09-27 09:32:28.0
has location Goddard Space Flight Center
has definition Is responsible for designing, developing, and operating data systems that support the processing, management, archiving and distribution of NASA mission data. The ADF serves three broadly-defined astrophysics disciplines: high-energy astrophysics, UV/optical astrophysics, and infrared/submillimeter/radio astrophysics. The ADF collaborates with the GSFC Laboratory for High Energy Astrophysics (LHEA) and the Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar Physics (LASP) in managing data for specific missions. The ADF staff also support the astrophysics community's access to multi-mission and multi-spectral data archives in the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC). has URL: http://hypatia.gsfc.nasa.gov/adf/adf.html, 2001-09-27 09:32:28.0
