The ICON Project Data Management Plan (PDMP) is available online. This 350 page document was updated for and submitted with the ICON Senior Review proposal.  It describes the content of all data files available on out own FTP site and the NASA SPDF archive.

The ICON Calibration and Measurement Algorithms Document (or CMAD) is also available online. This is a historically prescribed title for a document that is now required of all NASA missions. It is created newly for ICON for the senior review, weighs in at 180 pages, and describes the data processing algorithms used in the ICON Science Data Center.

The first distribution of MIGHTI V5 data published in December 2022 extended to August 2022. This brief entry discusses the work to extend the dataset to the end of data collection.

In December of 2021, ICON successfully completed the observations necessary for meeting the objectives of its mission. For almost another year, the observatory and its four instruments continued to acquire a wealth of data, including a remarkable look at a very deep solar minimum and the effect of the Tonga volcanic eruption on Earth's upper atmosphere. An extension for ICON’s mission was planned, but contact with the spacecraft was lost on November 25th.  We continue to focus on the data that ICON acquired during those thousand days. Keep an eye on the updates and look at the Level 4 data products here. We continue to track the publications of our own team and external researchers here. If you know of a research publication that uses ICON data and it is not on our list, please let us know!

Version 5 of the MIGHTI thermospheric winds is on its way. We are currently processing all the line of sight winds and once these are approved, will be promoted to the public FTP site and then the NASA archive. This wind product fills some long data gaps bad due to solar contamination. In version 5 the effects of this contamination has been mitigated and most of the data has been recovered. It also un-tethers the zero wind from HWM, using the on-orbit calibration processes to determine zero.

Version 6 of the IVM Level 2 data product is now available on the Public FTP site. It's a significant upgrade, and the release notes in the documentation describe the improvements to the product.
