Data Genesis and Data Management Concepts for COMPACT

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The future complex plasma facility COMPACT, supported by international space agencies (DLR, NASA, ESA) and NSF, will investigate large three-dimensional complex plasmas under microgravity conditions on the ISS. Building on previous dusty plasma facilities like PK3+ and PK4, COMPACT introduces a novel 3D particle observation/monitoring system for enhanced plasma diagnostics. Data generated during experiments on the ISS are highly valuable, highlighting the importance of robust data management and handling. We present concepts for camera system design and reliable data handling strategies that ensure scientific integrity. The proposed approaches adhere to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles, creating confidence in the research outcomes. This work is funded by DLR/BMWi (FKZ 50WM2161).
