VESPA / Europlanet-2024



VESPA (Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access) aims at building a Virtual Observatory for Planetary Science, connecting all sorts of data in the field, allowing for rapid data search and providing modern tools to retrieve, cross-correlate, and display data and results of scientific analyses.

VESPA is an activity in the Europlanet-2024 Research Infrastructure, initiated in the previous Europlanet-2020-RI contract - both funded under the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme.
VESPA is a common activity from 19 institutes in Europe, open to contributions from the community.
