This page provides access to data from the Cluster mission. See the Database Contents page to see what data is currently available. Some of this data is proprietary and subject to access controls. Click here for rules of use, or see the CSDS Users Guide. See the Quick Reference guide.

Proprietary data Access to these data are controlled by a user name and password. They are usually referred to as Prime Parameters.
Public data These data have a one-minute resolution and come from a single spacecraft. They are usually referred to as Summary parameters.
Orbit & events data These files have public access and contain spacecraft positions, orbital and scientific events. Data are provided by the Joint Science Operations Centre, JSOC.
Cluster Raw Data (RDM) These are online copies of the Cluster Raw Data Media (RDM) CD-ROMS these are accessible via a web directory listing. A GNU wget script is available on request that supports automated requests for data by instrument or date.
Summary plots These plots are publicly accessible and available for download in zip format. You can also browse previews of the latest plots: Overview, Composition, Fields and Configuration.
Quicklook Plots These are unvalidated quicklook plots of data from one spacecraft. They are available within several days of the data being acquired on the spacecraft
