Project Objectives
The GMES Space Component (GSC) Data Access system is the interface for accessing the Earth Observation products from the GMES Space Component. The system overall space capacity relies on several EO missions contributing to GMES, and it is continuously evolving, with new missions becoming available along time and others ending and/or being replaced.
The GMES Space Component Data Access (GSCDA) provides a comprehensive and coordinated access to all GMES space data, allowing the capacity:
- to link transparently the different EO Data Providers and the various GMES Service Providers using coordinating functions;
- to create synergy and sustainability across the various contributing missions;
- to facilitate the data access for the services and aim at long-term data reliability beyond single missions.
GSCDA data and services are accessible in the form of data sets, which are pre-defined collections of coherent multi-mission products responding to specific users needs. These data sets have been derived from the requirements of the GMES Service Projects, and after trading-off with the overall system capacity.
The overall assortment of the available data sets is called the GSC Data Access Portfolio (DAP). The DAP undergoes evolution cycles based on formal reviews, where updated requirements and evolving space systems capacity are taken into account.
Methodology
In the frame of this project VITO as SPOT-VEGETATION distributor delivered to the GMES core service (GEOLAND) the full archive of SPOT-VEGETATION Products (P product, S1, S10) and the near real time product. The geographic area is the world.
(Expected) Results
Deliver in due time (max 48 hours) the set of products.
