Bulletins
Bulletins are brief updates about SRS Open Science Platform components, such as tooling, datasets, and sensor networks. A bulletin can be about dataset releases, sensor deployments, releases of new skymaps or other higher-level data products, just to name a few. Below is a searchable keyword-based list for all bulletins.
It is expected that this list will grow faster than the larger news articles, as they are more brief and rapid in nature. Note that we have created bulletins going back to June 2024, just to populate this with what has happened since then. This feature was released in February 2026.

April 24, 2026Apr 24Homepage updatesWebsite
Several updates to the website: a redesigned homepage with news front and center and an interactive real-time data globe showing live data from our instruments.
April 22, 2026Apr 22Website reorganizationWebsite
We have reorganized the website navigation to better separate our data archive from our software tools and visualizations. Dataset descriptions now live under the Data section alongside archive information, while software libraries, crib sheets, and API documentation have moved to a new Tools section.
We have added a lot of new content to this website over the last few months, so we hope this reorganization of the site will help users find what they're looking for faster.
