The Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC), located at Caltech, supports NASA, NSF, and privately funded astronomy and planetary science missions by providing science operations, data management, data archives, and community support, with a focus on infrared-submillimeter astronomy and exoplanet science. IPAC manages extensive data archives like the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) and supports missions such as the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Wide-field Infrared Explorer (WIRE), and the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX). It partners with organizations like NASA and ESA and is involved in upcoming missions like SPHEREx, Euclid, and NEO Surveyor. IPAC also serves as the administrative home of the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute.
