Sentinel Mission Data Acquisition and (NRT) Production
Local/regional stations complementing the core X-band and Ka-band station network with the following potential activities.
- (NRT) data processing and distribution for Sentinel-1
- Elaboration of (NRT) products tailored to particular coverage/region, particular services, etc.
Sentinel Collaborative Data Products
Definition, specification and generation of data products to complement the set of products provided by the core ground segment, potentially including:
- higher level products than produced by the core ground segment
- product/algorithms tailored to a particular coverage or region, services or user community
- generation of local/regional data sets with correction, projection, calibration, merging etc., different to the standardised data set offered by the GSC core ground segment
Note: These activities are mainly foreseen for collaborative entities interested in specific ESA support such as provision of dedicated access links to core products, advertising, host processing, mutual cal/val support, access to collaborative product through GSC catalogue, etc.
Sentinel Data Product Dissemination and Access
Particular regional or thematic data access nodes and mechanisms, potentially including:
- redistribution services of Sentinel products, systematically received from the core ground segment, becoming additional pick-up points (e.g. mirror sites)
- regional online data servers and data pick-up points for specific user communities, etc.
Innovative Tools and Applications
Development of particular innovative tools or 'apps' by and for the general public.
Sentinel Complementary Calibration/Validation Activities
Complementary support to calibration and validation activities.
