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.

A SMILE All-Sky Imager (ASI) has been deployed to the Mt Washington Observatory in New Hampshire, and is now operational. This deployment was a joint effort between UCalgary and Amy Keesee at the University of New Hamsphire. Skymaps are available for this site.
Due to the extreme weather conditions at this site, we are hopeful that we can run through the winter and collect high quality data. Time will tell!

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.

The new AuroraX Real-Time Viewer has been released. This interactive tool displays live auroral imagery from camera networks across the globe on a 3D map, along with real-time spacecraft positions and space weather data from NOAA SWPC. Read more in our news post.
March 12, 2026Mar 12New Data Volume page addedWebsite
We have added a new Data Volume page to this website, providing a summary of the data included in the SRS Open Science Platform. The page features an interactive chart showing data volume and file counts broken down by dataset or general category.
March 12, 2026Mar 12New 'How to Cite' page addedWebsite
We have added a new How to Cite page to this website. The page is designed to help users quickly and easily know what needs to be included in your paper when using a dataset or tool provided by us.
March 4, 2026Mar 4Publications database addedWebsite
We have added a new Publications page to this website, listing publications that are enabled by the SRS Open Science Platform.
We are continuing to add publications from the last 30+ years, so this list will grow over time. We plan to update the database at least once per year, around February-March, which lines up with our fiscal year end reporting time.
