The EXPLORE Platform for Innovative Scientific Data Exploration and Exploitation Applications for Space Sciences
Nick L.J. Cox, Louis Kleverman · 2025
The EXPLORE platform is a bespoke platform build to serve the development and deployment of the EXPLORE project's scientific data applications for the exploration and exploitation of space science data. It has evolved into a versatile science platform adopting the "bring-the-user-to-the-data-and-tools" paradigm. It offers a range of functionalities including an application catalogue, an application deployment dashboard, a space browser, private workspaces and an administrative dashboard for user management, access control, and resource management. It is a flexibly modular system to deploy many types of containerised applications in the web browser and is itself easily deployed on other infrastructures.
