Scientific paper

The ground systems team for NOAA's first Solar X-ray Imager (SXI) proposed a merger of real-time and retrospective data services with two goals in mind. First, it was anticipated that this would be a more economical approach than legacy systems that divided these services between two separate organizations within NOAA. Also, unifying these services would naturally provide a simpler, and more consistent public interface for all SXI data users. The implementation of this innovative approach has been successful on both accounts. NOAA's Space Environment Center (SEC) receives the telemetry stream from SXI and generates the raw and processed imagery that they use in their Space Weather alert and forecast services. These data are instantaneously transferred to NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center through a combination of data push and pull protocols. The result is an interface that provides access to all SXI data, including images that are less than two minutes old. The success of this system has prompted its use in the ground systems design for the SXI and Space Environment Monitor (SEM) data collected from GOES-N, schedule for launch in December 2004.
