4 COSMO-SkyMed Constellation GeoEye-1 IKONOS QuickBird WorldView-1

5 COSMO-SkyMed Constellation Ownership: ASI & Italian MoD Missions status and info: SAR1 & SAR2 fully operational, SAR3 in commissioning (but already acquiring ), SAR4 to be launched end 2009 X-band SAR, commercial products with m resolution Left-Right looking, viewing range 4-satellite constellation allows at least 4 acquisitions/day Dual mission; C-UGS at Matera, developed and operated by Telespazio, 24x7 service, highly reliable and performing

6 COSMO-SkyMed 1: Guan Xian, 13 May 2008 ASI

7 GeoEye-1 IKONOS Ownership: GeoEye Inc. Telespazio is Exclusive Reseller for Europe and Northern Africa Missions status and info: GeoEye-1 fully operational: only commercial satellite providing 50 cm colour images (Pan + 4 MS) IKONOS (1 m Pan + 4 MS) still great performer after almost 10 years European Stations: GE1 IPF at Neustrelitz IK ROC at Oberpfaffenhofen

8 GeoEye-1: Washington DC, 20 Jan 2009 GeoEye Inc.

9 Ownership: DigitalGlobe Telespazio is Master Reseller for Europe and Northern Africa Missions status and info: Both satellites fully operational QuickBird (60 cm Pan + 4 MS) first sub-metric commercial satellite WorldView-1 (50 cm Pan) most agile satellite in the sky US centralized operations WorldView-2 (50 cm Pan + 8 MS) to be launched Sep-Oct 2009 QuickBird WorldView-1

10 WorldView-1: border Tchad - Cameroon, 4 Feb 2008 DigitalGlobe Inc.

11 Security Data Access COSMO-SkyMed Limitation only on 1-m data distribution, as ruled by the Italian Gov t and by EU directives No time block, only need to perform DPS (Denied Parties Screening) US missions US Gov t list of bad nations and bad guys No time block, only need to perform DPS Over Israel : max 2 m GSD A simple overall concept: we must know who is the end user!

12 Order import from ESA catalogues: DESCW, EOLI-SA Direct ordering Eurimage with ESA: Landsat, ERS, Envisat Existing interoperability Daily exchange of Catalogue db with ESA: Landsat, ERS Test on QuickBird

13 Planned interoperability

14 Quality Assurance for Earth Observation (QA4EO) Each satellite provider has already developed its own QC/QA procedures e-geos will take into consideration QA4EO recommendations and check if they can be implemented into its products and facilities

15 Ground EO data flow Longmont, CO Dulles, VA Neustrelitz, D Oberpfaffenhofen, D Multiple high-speed connections: FTP, SFTP, VPN, Signiant Dissemination to customers with ad-hoc procedures (if needed) Roma, I Frascati, I Matera, I

16 Ground EO data flow Recommendations Separate Emergency activities from Routine ones Use uplink/downlink tools that reduce risk of data drop and certify data transfer What about connection to data rather than circulation of data? For some customers confidentiality and security (e.g. encryption) are mandatory: how do you control access to data in such cases?

17 General Recommendations Not everything can be done automatically, don t forget the importance of a skilled human operator! Definition of operational rules based on the Real World Timelines Ordering Risk: Standardization = Limitation Listen carefully also to the data providers, not only to the users

18 Thank you! Axel Oddone
