STIX data center

The STIX data center is an automated data processing, management and visualization platform developed by a team lead by Hualin Xiao, in order to process and, archive STIX telemetry data, support the operations of the instrument, and science activities with STIX data. It receives STIX telemetry data from ESA, and then processes it into different data products automatically. Analysis reports, instrument health status, and analysis results are displayed using responsive web GUIs. The whole system has been deployed on a cloud server at FHNW.

Thanks to its modular design and compatibility with ESA’s mission control system SCOS2000, the system can be easily adapted for other space missions. After some minor modifications, it can also be applied to other use cases, such as automated data processing platforms for large scientific facilities and the Internet of Things (IoT).
