| Abstract: | As soon as the first data became available online over the Internet, it was obvious that different sites holding related datasets
should appear to the end user as a single data system, even if the data itself is stored at multiple locations. To achieve
this objective in the context of continuing parallel development of multiple data centres, in 2003 several actors in the realm
of space plasmas created the international consortium Space Physics Archive Search and Extract (SPASE). Since 2005 US participation
in SPASE has been supported by NASA, and early in 2006 NASA funded five new Virtual Observatories to cater for different aspects
of solar system plasma science. This paper outlines the current status of the SPASE effort, the opportunities it offers, its
specificities with respect to other parts of the astronomical virtual observatory, and the possibilities it offers for space
weather.
