NASA PDS - NSSDCA Delivery Software(NPO-51496-1)

NSSDCA Delivery Tool is responsible for the generation of two information packages for ensuring the integrity of the archive with respect to the NSSDCA and Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model [6]. The packages are intended to be generated by Discipline Node staff any time new data is released into the PDS, but can also be executed retroactively for data that has not previously been submitted. Once generated, the Archive Information Package and Submission package are both validated by the PDS Engineering Node, and the Submission package is delivered to the NSSDCA. The two packages are the Archive Information Package and Submission Information Package.
