This project aims at gathering Solar System reference frames in use by the science community. This task is a conducted under the IVOA/SSIG (Solar System Interest Group of the International Virtual Observatory Alliance), the IPDA (International Planetary Data Alliance) and the EPN2020RI/VESPA (Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access workpackage of the Europlanet-H2020-RI project).
The work plan of this project is as follows:
- Listing of reference frames in use from major sources, such as planetary, space physics and solar data archives, reference papers, community tools, etc.
- Merging the lists, identifying synonyms and possible relation and/or classification between frames.
- Submitting the lists to IVOA and IPDA for review.
