We propose to develop the Spitzer Zodiacal Database, a sparse, high resolution map of the zodiacal emission using all relevant Legacy, and available GTO and GO, data from MIPS, IRAC as well as IRS. The final product will include a) time-tagged images and for studies of asteroids, comet trails, dust bands, b) coadded images for precise estimates of the background emission for the broader astronomical community as a whole and c) 1-D scans for the study of the large scale zodiacal background as well as fine structure. In addition, there will be a catalog of comet trails using software specifically developed for trail detection - including trails associated with comets and 'orphan' trails (with no detected source). This database will be web-accessible and searchable through the Planetary Data System's Dust Subnode. This is a unique data product giving the extended emission maps (away from the Galactic plane) that will be applicable to other areas of research beyond the Solar System. It will characterize the foreground zodiacal emission especially near the poles and give us insight into distant background emissions like the Cosmic Infrared Background.
