International Solar-Terrestrial Physics
http://www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/istp/
This program combines resources and scientific communities on an international scale using a complement of several missions, along with complementary ground facilities and theoretical efforts, to obtain coordinated, simultaneous investigations of the Sun-Earth space environment over an extended period of time.
Space Science Data Operations Office
http://ssdoo.gsfc.nasa.gov/c630/ssdoo_main.html
SSDOO is responsible for the project management of selected missions and the development and operations of data and information systems which support processing, management, archiving and distribution of space physics, astrophysics, and planetary data.
NASA Scientific Ballooning Program
http://lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/balloon/balloon_top.html
Large unmanned helium balloons for NASA.
Polar, Wind, and Geotail
These missions are fundamental elements in our global approach to understanding the Sun-Earth connections system.The missions focus on understanding the dynamics, short and long term, large and small, through active and quiet solar periods.
Explorers Program
http://explorers.gsfc.nasa.gov/
The mission is to provide frequent flight opportunities for world-class scientific investigations from space. The program seeks to enhance public awareness of, and appreciation for, space science.
IMAGE Science Center
The IMAGE satellite is the first spacecraft dedicated to imaging the Earth's magnetosphere, a region of space controlled by the Earth's magnetic field that contains extremely tenuous plasmas of both solar and terrestrial origin.
The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) Support Office
A format adopted by the astronomical community for data interchange and archival storage. The FITS Support Office is responsible for documenting the FITS standard, participating in its evolution, and advising NASA astrophysics missions on how to present their data in FITS format.
Solar Terrestrial Probes Program
NASA's STP program is a continuous sequence of flexible, cost-capped missions designed to systematically study the sun-Earth system. STP missions will focus on how and why the sun varies, and how Earth and the planets respond.
