DATA PRODUCTS
MinXSS-1: The on-orbit science data from are available on:
- this webpage (see table below)
- LASP Interactive Solar Irradiance Datacenter (LISIRD)
- NASA’s SPDF database
- Virtual Solar Observatory
The data are packaged as a mission-length .sav file or alternatively netcdf (in the NASA archive) that can be restored in either IDL or Python. We provide some how-to instructions for loading and plotting the data here (same as link in left navigation bar). The table below briefly describes each product data level, links to a full description (same as the links in the left navigation bar), and provides a direct download link.
MinXSS-2: The on-orbit science data are available on
- this webpage (see table below)
- NASA’s SPDF database
INSPIRESat-1/DAXSS
- this webpage (see table below); 2022-06-06 Only Level 1 is available at present but the other levels will soon be released as well
Our processing source code is also available as a repository on GitHub. There you can also find a User Guide and a Change Log.
We’ve also created a flare catalog for MinXSS-1, which simply uses the timestamps of flares from GOES/XRS to find the MinXSS spectra during the same timeframe.
| Data Product Level | Brief Description | Full Description | Download (IDL saveset) | Download (netCDF) |
| Raw telemetry | Binary data downloaded directly from spacecraft | link | N/A | N/A |
| Level 0B | IDL interprets the binary into anonymous structures and stores in an IDL saveset per day | link | N/A | N/A |
| Level 0C | Sort the level 0b data by onboard generation date and store in daily and mission length IDL savesets and csv files | link | MinXSS-1 | MinXSS-1 |
| Level 0D | Co-algin discrete telemetry packets with the time of science measurements, pull in ancillary data necessary for level 1 processing, store as mission length IDL saveset | link | MinXSS-1 | MinXSS-1 |
| Level 1 | Calibrated solar soft x-ray spectra at native 10-second cadence and store as mission length IDL saveset | link | MinXSS-1 | MinXSS-1 |
| Level 2 | Calculate time averages for all packet variables including solar soft x-ray spectra, store as mission length IDL saveset; 1 minute, 1 hour averages | link | MinXSS-1 | MinXSS-1 |
| Level 3 | Calculate daily averages for all packet variables including solar soft x-ray spectra, store as mission length IDL saveset | link | MinXSS-1 | MinXSS-1 |
