Article Synopsis
- - The Van Allen Probes mission used a distributed operational model where the Mission Operations Center (MOC) managed overall tasks while individual instrument-specific Science Operations Centers (SOCs) focused on data acquisition, processing, and instrument performance for their specific instruments.
- - Significant collaboration between the instrument SOCs and the project science team led to crucial discoveries through coordinated observations and cross-calibration of instruments during the mission.
- - Key lessons learned emphasized the value of having dedicated SOCs, which improved the quality and timeliness of instrument data for scientists studying magnetospheric and radiation belt phenomena.
