ESA-NASA Multi-Mission Analysis Platform for Improving Global Aboveground Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics

In the context of innovative sensors and a changing ground segments, the concept of ESA-NASA multi-Mission Analysis Platform dedicated to the NISAR, GEDI and Biomass missions is proposed. This analysis platform will be a virtual open and collaborative environment. The goal is to bring together data centre (Earth Observation and non-Earth Observation data), computing resources and hosted processing, collaborative tools (processing tools, data mining tools, user tools, …), concurrent design and test bench functions, application shops and market place functionalities, accounting tools to manage resource utilisation, communication tools (social network) and documentation.
