The EnMAP Ground Segment will be implemented and operated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The Applied Remote Sensing Cluster (DFD) at DLR is responsible for the establishment of a user interface for the future German hyperspectral satellite mission EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program). This paper provides first issues on design and functionality of the user interface. The user interface consists of two hierarchically structured online portals. The EnMAP portal is the central entry point for all users interested to learn about the EnMAP mission, its objectives, status, and results. The EnMAP Data Access Portal (EDAP) links to a set of functions for registered users that will support the international EnMAP user community.
The operational services offered through the EnMAP portal will be complemented by a service team, EnMAP Application Support, offering expert advice on the exploitation of EnMAP data.
