Challenges of Data Processing for Earth Observation in Distributed Environments

Remote sensing systems have a continuous growth in the capabilities that can be handled nowadays only using distributed systems. In this context, the challenges for the distributed systems coming from Earth observation field are reviewed in this paper. Moreover, the technological solutions used to built a platform for Earth observation data processing are exposed as proof of concept of current distributed system capabilities.
