The Virtual ITM Observatory (VITMO) is one of the recently selected NASA domain specific virtual observatories designed to facilitate study of the ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere (ITM) regions. The ITM domain studies an area of the atmosphere that is a transition region between the atmosphere and space, where many important physical and chemical processes change dramatically temporally and spatially. As a result, the areas of studies within the ITM community span a wide spectrum of scientific subjects in geophysics and space physics. The VITMO will sit above mission datacenters and provide outside users with the ability to find data sets across multiple datacenters and more importantly, find those datasets that overlap in time and/or space allowing coordinated observations of phenomena. This will create a "true virtual observatory" that utilizes many different instruments to study a given system or phenomena. The design incorporates a modular framework that accepts distributed data and services from across the community and encourages widespread participation. The current and planned state of the VITMO, which is to begin operation at the end of 2007, will be presented along with a demonstration of some of its unique capabilities.
