Project Proposal (Restrained)

1. Go to the ESA User Services Portal
2. Register or log in to EO Sign In
3. After logging in, complete and submit the form with your proposed use of the data
4. The proposal will be evaluated by ESA, which normally takes between 4 and 6 weeks
5. Upon successful evaluation, you will receive a confirmation email, which describes the amount of data to be provided, and details of how to order the data.

The collection is open for research and application development, prototype and test projects to worldwide users but GEOSAT can introduce limitations due to security regulations.

Data are available to order on demand upon submission of a Project Proposal subject to evaluation and acceptance by ESA.

ESA will support as many high-quality and innovative projects as possible within the quota limit available, therefore only a limited amount of products can be allowed to each project.

The list of available archived data can be retrieved using the GEOSAT catalogue.

All details about data provision and availability, data access conditions, usage restrictions and the quota assignment procedure are described in the Terms of Applicability document available in the Resources section.

If you need help with the proposal form, consult this guide on how to access data requiring a project proposal.

For further information about the EO Sign In Service you can visit TellUs.

Should you need support to prepare your proposal or access the data, please contact EOHelp.
