Efficient development procedure for Copernicus Contributing Mission

摘要

At the present day various satellites are observing the Earth by taking images. There are many agencies to provide the image product of each satellite to the customer. If the customer requires the image product, the customer should write the order form of a satellite and send it to the agency. After number of days the customer will take the image product from the agency. In this case the customer should write several order forms to get the image product of different satellites for the same area. The reason is there is no standard for the order form and the image product. ESA proposed the Copernicus Service to solve these kinds of problems. The Copernicus Service has been operating by ESA until now. The Copernicus Service has the standard for the order form and the image product. So, the customer can get the image product of various satellites more easily. Copernicus Contribution Mission (CCM) is an entity of the Copernicus Service. The CCM is a provider of an image product. CCM should satisfy Top Level ICD and Operational scenarios of the Copernicus Service in order to provide an image product. Top Level ICD and Operational scenarios are composed of several sub documents. In this paper, we will describe the development procedure and result of CDWI (Copernicus Data Warehouse Interface) S/W to be a CCM which provides the image products of KOMPSAT-2, 3 and 5 satellites. We expect the analysis steps, which are mentioned in the development procedure, can be the technical assistance for the countries or the companies which want to be a CCM.
