Herschel Space Observatory is the European Space Agency's fourth "Cornerstone Mission". NASA is a partner in the Herschel mission, and the NASA Herschel Science Center is located at IPAC.

Planck's objective is to analyze, with the highest accuracy ever achieved, the remnants of the radiation that filled the Universe immediately after the Big Bang, which we observe today as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The US Planck Data Center is located at IPAC, and IPAC generated the Early Release Compact Source Catalog (ERCSC), the first public data product from the mission.

The Cube Builder for IRS Spectra Maps, is a tool for constructing spectral cubes, maps, and arbitrary aperture 1D spectral extractions from sets of mapping mode spectra taken with Spitzer's IRS spectrograph.

Finder Chart provides image cutouts from the 2MASS, SDSS, and DSS sky surveys around a user specified location, allowing comparisons across wavelengths and time.

HIRES employs the Maximum Correlation Method (MCM) (H.H. Aumann, J.W. Fowler and M. Melnyk, 1990,AJ, 99,1674) to construct (resolution-enhanced) coadded images. HIRES images may be requested from IPAC using the e-mail based data request system.

Scanpi is an interactive software tool for viewing, plotting and averaging the calibrated survey scans from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS); these scans are the fundamental data from the IRAS survey.

IRSCLEAN is an interactive IDL tool for creating bad pixel masks from Spitzer IRS BCD (and pre-BCD) image data, and "cleaning" the masked pixels in a set of data.

Montage is a toolkit for assembling Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) images into custom mosaics.

Skyview is an image display and analysis program for the interactive analysis of astronomical data using the X-Windows user interface. Skyview is primarily intended for the analysis of flux/intensity and position calibrated scientific imagery.

The Customizable User Pipeline for IRS Data (CUPID) allows users to run the Spitzer IRS Pipelines to re-create Basic Calibrated Data and extract calibrated spectra from the archived raw files.

This service computes the interstellar reddening for a line of sight and/or region of the sky, returning the corresponding 100 μm intensity, reddening maps, region statistics, and estimated Galactic extinction.

IBIS is an electronic mail, batch version of IRSKY, the tool primarily intended for planning infrared observations.

IRSA provides a set of five IDL programs to assist users in working with catalogs and tables.

IRSKY offers convenient and efficient access to the major released science products from the IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) mission. It is designed as an environment for astronomers to plan observations in the context of the known infrared sky, with special emphasis on observations using Spitzer.

MOPEX (MOsaicker and Point source EXtractor) is a package for reducing and analyzing imaging data, as well as MIPS SED data. MOPEX includes the point source extraction package, APEX.

The Spitzer IRS Custom Extraction (SPICE) software is a JAVA-based tool to interactively extract Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra.
