    CEOS 2004

    The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) was created in 1984, in response to a recommendation from a Panel of Experts on Remote Sensing from Space, under the aegis of the Economic Summit of Industrialised Nations Working Group on Growth, Technology and Employment. This brochure provides an overview of CEOS as of 2004.

    This publication marks the inaugural edition of the CEOS Annual Report. The CEOS Annual Report will convey the main highlights, activities, and accomplishments of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) during the previous year. Because no report was issued in 2000, this inaugural edition of the CEOS Annual Report is a special biennial version, covering both the years 2000 and 2001.

    CEOS-Committee-on-Earth-Observation-Satellites-Working-Group-on-Calibration-and-Validation.pdf

    International collaboration on calibration and validation through the CalNal Working Group has been one of the signal successes of the CEOS organisation. The Working Group has created a mechanism for the sharing of effort in CALN AL between cooperating agencies, for the management of coherent programmes and campaigns and for the pooling of engineering and scientific information about the process of Earth observation through a variety of techniques. The success of the meeting of the SAR subgroup reported here is further evidence of the success of the coordinated approach adopted through CEOS.

    CEOS-Yearbook-1997-Towards-an-integrated-global-observing-strategy.pdf

    This document discusses the need for observations of planet Earth and its environment - both global observations, such as might be required to fulfil the needs of international climate treaties, and regional, national and local observations in support of specific environment, development and other issues. A large number of geophysical measurements are required whose spatial and temporal resolutions and accuracies depend on the specific application under consideration.

    DMC-Product-Manual-for-the-DMC-Europe-2007-Coverage

    The data products supplied by DMCII are derived from images acquired by the DMC satellites. The primary payload on the DMC satellites is the SLIM-6 imager manufactured by SSTL, UK. This manual will aid users in their analysis of the data products to maximise the information they can extract from the DMC images by providing a thorough description of the data products, the imaging payload, the calibration procedure and the orthorectification process.

    Earth Observation Requirements for the Polar Orbiting Platform Elements of the International Space Station

    Polar Orbit Earth Observation requirements have been considered for the Space Station era. Candidate model payload groupings (both an initial set and an evolutionary growth) have been derived assuming the availability of serviceable permanent polar platforms, e.g. a "morning" platform provided by ESA, and an 11 afternoon" one by NASA.
