Abstract
SSDC SciComHub: piattaforma centralizzata per accesso, analisi e sviluppo dati
Le analisi dei dati provenienti dalle missioni spaziali richiedono librerie specializzate e codebase legacy che spesso generano gap di riproducibilità. Lo Space Science Data Center (SSDC) di ASI ha implementato il Science Computing Hub (SciComHub), una piattaforma centralizzata che sposta il calcolo verso i dati. Sfruttando container Docker/Podman e l'orchestrazione Kubernetes, SciComHub offre un ambiente scalabile e sicuro in contesti HPC. La piattaforma garantisce una simmetria assoluta tra sviluppo locale e produzione in cloud, assicurando risultati scientifici riproducibili. SciComHub facilita la collaborazione tra team, permettendo di processare dati multi-missione (LRO, ExoMars) e connettere pipeline a servizi di analisi spettrale come MATISSE. L’infrastruttura segue gli standard FAIR tramite protocolli IVOA e login istituzionali eduGAIN, risultando una soluzione portabile per la ricerca.

Bio
Giacomo Nodjoumi (1988) is a planetary scientist and geologist specialising in the study of Mars and the Moon. After obtaining a degree in Geology and a Master’s degree in Applied Geology for Engineering, Land Management and Risk, he completed a PhD in Geosciences in 2025 at Constructor University in Bremen. He is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at INAF-OAR and, under an ASI–INAF collaboration agreement, works on a permanent basis at the Space Science Data Center (SSDC) of the Italian Space Agency. His work focuses on the development of advanced platforms and services for accessing and processing scientific data from space missions, ensuring the integration of FAIR principles and the use of high-level computational resources. His research interests include deep learning applied to planetary sciences, radar data analysis, and satellite image processing. He coordinated the development of the lunar applications L-EXPLO and L-HEX within the European H2020 EXPLORE project.
Abstract
SSDC SciComHub: a centralised platform for data access, analysis, and development
Data analyses from space missions require specialised libraries and legacy codebases that often create reproducibility gaps. The Space Science Data Center (SSDC) of ASI has implemented the Science Computing Hub (SciComHub), a centralised platform that moves computation closer to the data. By leveraging Docker/Podman containers and Kubernetes orchestration, SciComHub provides a scalable and secure environment within HPC contexts. The platform ensures full symmetry between local development and cloud production, guaranteeing reproducible scientific results. SciComHub also facilitates collaboration across teams, enabling the processing of multi-mission data (LRO, ExoMars) and the integration of pipelines with spectral analysis services such as MATISSE. The infrastructure adheres to FAIR principles through IVOA protocols and institutional eduGAIN authentication, making it a portable solution for research.
