The Satellite Situation Center Web (SSCWeb) is a browser-based service to provide geocentric spacecraft location information and cast it into a framework of (empirical) geophysical regions and mappings of spacecraft locations along lines of the Earth's magnetic field. While backed by a substantial and maintained database of spacecraft orbit information and extensive software logic, several shortcomings in the present service are the inability of the architecture to support externally-developed clients and limitation of the orbit graphics to static, 2-D plots. This talk introduces a new distributed programming interface to the SSCWeb software based on the SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), a modern, industry standard technology. This interface, SSC XML Web Services, allows systems to communicate with SSC over the open protocols of the Internet. This flexible architecture will enable new SPDF developed client applications, as well as externally developed clients, to access the SSCWeb data and logic to bring new services and capabilities to the SEC community. The first such client application is TIPSOD (Tool for Interactive Plotting, Sonification and 3-D Orbit Display). Implemented in Java 3D, TIPSOD extends the existing SSCWeb 2-D static orbit graphics with 3-D interactive and animated displays linking set of spacecraft positions as a function of time. Additional capability and functional enhancements to SSCWeb services and TIPSOD, as well as the extension of this technology to the CDAWeb service, are being considered to further the relevance and usefulness of this work to the science community. SSCWeb is a joint effort of the NASA GSFC Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) and the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC).
