Alpha version

This is a test version of the database. Please do not upload data for long term storage - this version will be deleted after the alpha.

The Satellite Constellation Observation Repository (SCORE) is a project developed and maintained by the International Astronomical Union Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference (IAU CPS). SCORE serves as a centralized repository for satellite brightness observations. Its primary function is to provide a comprehensive and organized platform for researchers to contribute, store, and access observational data of artificial space objects. Datasets curated in SCORE are free and open for download. If you make use of SCORE data in your research, kindly add the following paragraph to your acknowledgments section:

"This research made use of data and/or services provided by the International Astronomical Union's Centre for the Protection of the Dark and Quiet Sky from Satellite Constellation Interference (IAU CPS)."

Upload Observation File

Upload observations of artificial satellites in a CSV file format - follow the SCORE specific columns outlined in the example observation file.

Incorrectly formatted observations will result in an error message. However, correctly formatted observations processed before an error occurs will be saved in the database and won't need to be resubmitted. SCORE will identify duplicate observations and provide the corresponding IDs of the original ones.

Optional fields should be left blank if not applicable. Please avoid using "n/a", none, 0, or other similar values.
All columns must be used in the file uploaded for submission - leave a column blank if there is no data.
For more information, refer to the data format page.
