National Virtual Observatory
The US National Virtual Observatory (NVO) was conceived to allow scientists to easily access data from multiple astronomical observatories including ground and space-based facilities through one portal. Currently, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funds the information technology research that created the basic NVO infrastructure through a multi-organization collaborative effort.
