Questions related to the RPW data processing at LESIA
What are the RPW data products ?
A list of the RPW data produced by the ROC at LESIA is available in RPW Data Products.
...
Standards and metadata definitions for the RPW science data are presented in https://issues.cosmos.esa.int/solarorbiterwiki/display/SOSP/Metadata+Definition+for+Solar+Orbiter+Science+Data
Where I can find the RPW data produced by the ROC at LESIA ?
Every RPW data file generated by the ROC at LESIA are saved within 48h in https://rpw.lesia.obspm.fr/roc/data/private/solo/rpw/data
...
A copy of the RPW public data will be also available in https://rpw.lesia.obspm.fr/roc/data/pub/solo/rpw/data/
What is the Common Data Format (CDF)?
The Common Data Format (CDF) is a file format designed by NASA and used to store Solar Orbiter In Situ payload data, including RPW.

What are the software used by the ROC to process RPW data?
The ROC relies on four pipelines to generate RPW data:
- The RPW Operation and Data Pipeline (RODP) is the main pipeline run by the ROC at LESIA to generate RPW L0/L1/HK data products from downlinked telemetry
- The RCS Interface Validation Pipeline (RIVP) is the pipeline used to validate and run the RPW Calibration Software (RCS)
- The RPW Low Latency Data Pipeline (LLDP) is a the pipeline used to process the Low Latency data. The main instance of the LLDP is hosted and run by the Solar Orbiter SOC at ESAC (Madrid, Spain)
- The ROC Ground Test SGSE (RGTS) is dedicated to parse RPW telemetry/command data as stored by ground MEB GSE and ADS GSE. (Mainly used during ground calibrations and tests)
What are the RPW Calibration Software (RCS)?
The RPW Calibration Software (RCS) are run by the ROC at LESIA to generate the RPW calibrated science data (L2).
...
Questions related to the RCS can be found in RCS-related FAQ
What is the RPW Instrument Database (IDB)?
The RPW Instrument Database (IDB) is required to parse/generate RPW telemetry (TM) and commands (TC) binary packet data. The IDB is also contain the "raw" to/from "engineering" conversion of TM/TC parameter values.
