The HC-DC project relies on local infrastructures, which ensures the long-term maintenance of the development being made and allows expertise sharing with other projects, both recognised as Regional Centre of Expertise by INSU/CNRS:
- in Grenoble, the HC-DC is part of the OSUG Data Centre and relies on the Université Grenoble Alpes infrastructures to perform the data reduction of SPHERE public data (data storage, computing grids)
- in Marseille, HC-DC is part of the CeSAM, who is developing DIVA+ allowing to request reduced data.
Five observatories are partners of HC-DC:
- Observatoire des Sciences de l’Univers de Grenoble (OSUG) / Institut de Planétologie et d’Astrophysique de Grenoble (IPAG)
- Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur (OCA) / Lagrange
- PYTHEAS / Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille
- Observatoire de Paris / Laboratoire d’études spatiales et d’instrumentation en astrophysique (LESIA)
- Observatoire de Lyon / Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon (CRAL)
