Description
The AMS-02 detector will be installed on ISS ifor at least 3 years. The data will be
transmitted from ISS to NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC, Huntsvile, Alabama)
and transfered to CERN (Geneva Switzerland) for processing and analysis.
We are presenting the AMS-02 Ground Data Handling scenario and requirements to AMS
ground centers: the Payload Operation and Control Center (POCC) and the Science
Operation Center (SOC). The Payload Operation and Control Center is where AMS
operations take place, including commanding, storage and analysis of house keeping
data and partial science data analysis for rapid quality control and feed back. The
AMS Science Data Center receives and stores all AMS science and house keeping data,
as well as ancillary data from NASA. It ensures full science data reconstruction,
calibration and alignment; it keeps data available for physics analysis and archives
all data.
We also discuss the AMS-02 distributed data management between 25 Universities and
Labs in Europe, USA and Asia.
