Abstract
The NEAR (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) Science Data Center (SDC) serves as the central site for common data processing activities needed by the NEAR science teams in particular and the scientific community in general. The SDC provides instrument and spacecraft data to the science teams from around the world and redistributes science products produced by those teams, all the science teams to focus on analysis. This data and the accompanying documentation are available at 'http://sd-www.jhuapl.edu/NEAR/'. In addition the SDC is responsible for archiving spacecraft, instrument, and science data to the Planetary Data System (PDS).
