NASA's EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEM DATA AND INFORMATION SYSTEM (EOSDIS): AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING, ARCHIVING, AND DISSEMINATING HIGH-VOLUME EARTH SCIENCE IMAGERY AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS

摘要

The Earth Observing System Data and Information system (EOSDIS) is being developed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to acquire a comprehensive, global, 15-year data set containing several petabytes of data. EOSDIS will command and control the series of EOS satellites, as well as provide distributed data processing, archival and distribution services across eight service provider sites. This paper provides an overview of the core components of EOSDIS focusing on the system capabilities provided for planning and processing science data products.
