Data Ingest Process

MAST will post the date of the next data ingest on this page once it is known.  TESS data is are delivered to the archive when processing has finished. This takes between 1 and 2 months after the data are downloaded from the spacecraft.  MAST will post the date of the next data ingest once it is known.    While the data are ingested into the MAST databases, data products will gradually become available for download.  One sector of TESS data takes approximately 20 hours to archive and make available in the MAST Portal.  Since data become available immediately after being archived, during this ingest process there is an incomplete set of data in the MAST archive.  After all data are archived, MAST services such as the bulk downloads, TESScut, and exo.MAST take another 1-2 days to bring online.  See the flow chart below for a typical timeline for the ingest of TESS data.
