This fall will see the launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) will be one of the three instruments on the spacecraft. AIA can obtain full disk 4096x 4096 pixel images of the Sun in 10 wavelength bands with its four telescopes. In normal operations the system will obtain 8 images every 10 seconds. During the initial phases of operation we will determine the best image sequence for the prevailing solar conditions. Our plan is to remain in that mode for many weeks at a time. However, during the eclipse season we do plan to do some special experiments. SDO is an open science mission; however, the amount of data generated is several terabytes per day. This means that some planning by the mission and the community is required for efficient data distribution. The plan is to quickly produce a range of quick look products to allow selection of events and an efficient mechanism for delivering the science data. Talks in this session will address the data selection tools.
