SDO has only been operating a little over a year, but in that short time it has already transmitted hundreds of terabytes of data, making it impossible for data providers to maintain a complete archive of data online. By storing an extremely efficiently compressed subset of the data, however, the Helioviewer project has been able to maintain a continuous record of high-quality SDO images starting from soon after the commissioning phase. The Helioviewer project was not designed to deal with SDO alone, however, and continues to add support for new types of data, the most recent of which are STEREO EUVI and COR1/COR2 images. In addition to adding support for new types of data, improvements have been made to both the server-side and client-side products that are part of the project. A new open-source JPEG2000 (JPIP) streaming server has been developed offering a vastly more flexible and reliable backend for the Java/OpenGL application JHelioviewer. Meanwhile the web front-end, Helioviewer.org, has also made great strides both in improving reliability, and also in adding new features such as the ability to create and share movies on YouTube. Helioviewer users are creating nearly two thousand movies a day from the over six million images that are available to them, and that number continues to grow each day. We provide an overview of recent progress with the various Helioviewer Project components and discuss plans for future development.
