In this talk we would like to update you on the latest developments of ESA Datalabs, the science platform supporting the astronomy, planetary and heliophysics missions of the European Space Agency: the idea of bringing the code to the data is catching on with more and more of ESA’s science missions while the functional extension of the platform is progressing: Datalabs allows users to easily access data from the ESA Science Data Centre mission archives, run analysis software, prepare custom pipeline for batch-processing and help users in creating custom applications. More functionality is planned based on the feedback of scientists and other mission stakeholders.
Aside from news related to updated functionality, increased reliability and more hardware we aim to discuss challenges and options related to scaling a platform, relate the early feedback we received from users and discuss the role of platforms in the digital strategy for ESA´s space science missions.
