The primary space weather instrument is the PlasMag suite. PlasMag includes a fluxgate magnetometer (MAG) that measures the local magnetic field, and a Faraday Cup (FC) that measures the solar wind bulk properties (wind speed, density and temperature). The PlasMag solar wind data are essential inputs for the forecasts and nowcasts provided to SWPC customers. The PlasMag data are also available to scientists for sensor cal/val and for research purposes. DSCOVR was launched on Feb. 11, 2015, so all data present in the Archive from earlier dates are data used for ground testing, and do not represent the space environment. DSCOVR became operational on July 27, 2016. End Of Life (EOL) is anticipated to be December 2019. NCEI plans to receive data until EOL, and will continue to archive the data in accordance with Data Center policies. To provide scientific data stewardship of solar-terrestrial datasets in compliance with NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 212-15, "Management of Environmental and Geospatial Data and Information", dated 04 Nov 10. Scientific Data Stewardship includes the Archive, Access, and Assessment (AAA) of operational and related solar and space environmental datasets.

NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015. 2015-04-22T00:00:00 series DSCOVR is scheduled to be launched in 2QFY14 (IOC) with an Final Operational Capability planned for mid-2015. DSCOVR will measure properties of the solar wind and the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) from the L1 Lagrangian Point. DSCOVR is the planned replacement for the NASA Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) for monitoring the solar wind at L1. DSCOVR file formats will remain consistent. DSCOVR will provide continuity from ACE for measurements of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field. DSCOVR measurements will be tagged to Univeral Time Coordinated (UTC). Accuracy is expected to be on the order of 1 second [TBR]. DSCOVR data and products provided by the NOAA/NWS Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) SWPC acquires DSCOVR data from the Real-Time Solar Wind Network (RTSWNet) and processes the real-time measurements into processed data and user products. NCEI receives the DSCOVR data from SWPC as day-files of unprocessed and processed products.
