The Vespa service uses the access protocols and infrastructure of IVOA, the International Virtual Observatory Alliance, to provide access to Planetary science data. Building on its success, the project provides a unified search system for data from more than forty data centres, including the PSA and several NASA nodes.
The search web portal http://vespa.obspm.fr offers advanced search functionalities and complex cross-searches. In addition, we are developing a discovery portal based on the elasticsearch search engine and also using spatial search on mapped objects. We propose to present spatial search tools based on multi-scale representation standards (HIPS and MOC) and the Aladin Lite visualisation client.
