etc.) to the use of data may be applied for TPMESA Third Party

To stimulate a balanced development of Science, Public Utility
and Commercial Applications, consistent with the missions
objectivesTo maximize the beneficial use of data from ESA EO
satellitesMain points:
to use the ESA data within the project team (PI and Co-PIs) and
only for the purpose described in the Registration/Project Proposal
i.e. no data redistribution outside the project
Just need to tick acceptance of the ESA Terms & Conditions

EO-SSO account RegistrationThe EO-SSO account allows the PI to
access to My Earthnet functionality.
If you do not have an EO-SSO account, follow the registration
procedure starting from: https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/home or
https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/pi-communityStep 1 Click Register
button at the top of the page
Step 3 Click the Registration button once the form is
completed
Your new account will be generated, and you will shortly receive
an automated email asking you to activate this account. Simply
click on the link provided in the email, and your registration will
be complete.Step 2 - Fill in the registration form with your
prospective account details
Log in to My Earthnet using the SSO account (1/2)The Log in to
My Earthnet allows you to access to your personal area, where you
will find personal information, your Full proposal projects
(restrained dataset), and the list of My Online Data (free dataset)
you have registered for.You can log in to My Earthnet from:
https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/home or
https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/pi-communityStep 1 Click on the
Login My Earthnet button at the top of the pageStep 2 Enter your
username (EO-SSO ID) and password
Step 3 Click "Login" button to complete the log in process.
After logging in you will automatically be returned to the page
you were viewing before you logged in.Now you are logged in to the
system, and can access to your personal area of MyEarthnet clicking
on My Earthnet buttonLogging in to My Earthnet, you can find: your
personal information; all your Project Proposals (for which you are
registered as PI or Co-PI);the list of My Online Data sets you have
registered for.
Log in to My Earthnet using the SSO account (2/2)Step 1 - Once
you are in your personal area of My Earthnet, click on Add ESA
product or Add TPM product button under My Online Data section
selecting the products of interest
Step 2 - Acceptance of Terms & Conditions for use of ESA
and/or TPM dataFor most datasets you will receive the information
to access the data in an email immediately.
In addition, the access information will be contained in the My
Online Data list, as shown beside. User name and password can be
visualized by mouse-over
Step 3 - The online product will appear under your My Online
Data section with details how to accessMy Online Data (Free
Dataset) Selection
The access to the selected Online data, is provided by ESA EO
Help & Order Desk. They will address you to the appropriate
system providing direct access to EO data for download via internet

AccessProject (Full) Proposal Submission (1/2)
Once you are in your personal area of My Earthnet you can start
the submission of a Project (Full) Proposal clicking on New Project
button on the right panel
The submission forms are tailored to several different aspects
of the Project (Full) Proposal:
The Cover page: general information about the PI and an overview
of the projectThe Team Composition, Innovation and Contribution
sectionsThe Detailed Description and Schedule of the ProjectThe
Data Description pages Acceptance of ESA & TPM Terms and
ConditionsAll details available in the Guidelines for the
submission of Project Proposals at:
https://earth.esa.int/files/guidelinesDetailed Description and
Schedule of the Project Proposalis the most important part of the
Project Proposal and the main basis for its evaluation. It should
include as a minimum the following information:Technical and
scientific approach and methods proposed to meet the proposals
objectives, and the success criteria of the project.Anticipated
results and deliverables of the investigation, and schedule for
availability of such results and deliverables.Work Plan of the
investigation, including a description of the key milestones and
associated deliverables, the planned use of data, software/tools,
models and facilities.Justification for the amount and type of
requested data products.Data Requirements: Instruments and
ProductsIn order to better complete this section, providing the
necessary information about the requested products, before
submitting a proposal, it is strongly recommended to consult the
ESA Catalogues as far as the ESA Earth Observation data coverage is
concerned.The EOLI catalogue can be freely used for search and
browsing as an anonymous user. No user registration is required for
this.Project (Full) Proposal Submission (2/2)
The Proposal, once submitted, will be reviewed and a quota will
be assigned by ESA.
The PI will receive the notification via email (Final Acceptance
email)
ESA EO Help & Order Desk will send to the PI the
instructions how to access to the requested products (Restrained
Dataset). Usually an EOLI-SA account will be created to place the
orders.The EOLI Stand Alone (SA) Client provides access to the
online ESA catalogues of EO products, allowing the visualisation of
quick-looks and online ordering. Latest version 9.2.0, available on
