Developing & disseminating data, software, and services to support the Swarm mission

As the Swarm mission [1] enters its second decade of operations, we face increasing complexity and ambition. This comes from different directions: serving a greater number of higher level data products; more software tools and on-demand processing; and more spacecraft - both in the form of utilising platform magnetometers on other LEO missions, and synergy with related new missions such as the Macau Science Satellite and the NanoMagSat ESA Scout mission. This presentation gives an overview of some Swarm activities in the context of accessibility, interoperability, open science, cloud-based processing and research. This ranges from the VirES platform for data access and processing, several Python software packages developed by the Swarm community, metadata efforts, and software maintenance and discoverability. The Swarm handbook [2] provides systematic documentation of Swarm products, VirES [3] provides both GUI and API access to both data and models, the viresclient Python package [4] provides the connection with the Python ecoystem, SwarmPAL [5] provides access to new processing routines, and Swarm notebooks [6] provide tested recipes to use on our Jupyter environment.
