Organization

Since 2011, MEDOC runs under an agreement between CNRS/INSU, Université Paris-Saclay, and CNES. Following this agreement, MEDOC is managed by:

• A scientific director, currently Éric Buchlin (IAS).
• A technical director, currently Stéphane Caminade (IAS).
• A project manager, currently Dominica Leung (CNES).
• A users’ committee (Comité des Utilisateurs), currently composed Baptiste Cecconi, Véronique Delouille, Clara Froment, Sophie Masson, Sophie Musset, and Alexis Rouillard.
• A steering committee (Comité Directeur), composed of CNRS/INSU, Université Paris-Saclay, and CNES representatives.

Both committees meet yearly.

MEDOC is hosted at the Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale, a CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay laboratory in Orsay, France.

MEDOC is also a CNRS-INSU service in astronomy and astrophysics for “ANO-5” (data centers) and “ANO-6” (monitoring of the Sun of the space environment), as part of the services provided by the Observatoire des Sciences de l’Univers Paris-Saclay (a department of Université Paris-Saclay).
