Welcome to the SORCE data support web site located at the NASA Goddard
Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC). The GES
DISC provides end-to-end support for all public data products
from SORCE.
SORCE was launched on January 25, 2003 aboard a Pegasus XL
rocket into a 645 km altitude and 40° inclined orbit. SORCE is a
key element in NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) with the aim of
measuring the solar radiation incident on the Earth's upper atmosphere.
Management of SORCE is provided by the Labratory for Atmospheric and Space
Physics (LASP), at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
The SORCE spacecraft includes four instruments: the Total Irradiance
Monitor (TIM), the Solar Stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment
(SOLSTICE), the Solar Irradiance Monitor (SIM), and the soft
X-ray Ultraviolet Photometer System (XPS). These instruments use
state-of-the-art technology to provide more accurate spectral and total
solar irradiance measurements compared to precursor sensors.
You may download the latest public SORCE data products by selecting
the "Data Access" link on the menu
bar. If you have questions on GES DISC data product support and services
for the SORCE and related data sets, please let us know.
