User Services activities


User Interface: the EOHelp team

One E-mail address: [email protected] but 3 sub-teams:

Order Desk– Maintenance of users and projects DB – Order handling for ESA and TPM– Acquisition pre-conflict resolution– Order submission to Mission Planners or Production Facility– Order tracking: interface to Stations and Production/Archiving

Centres and feedback to users on order status via EOLI-SA ordering interface

– Provision of on-line data access

Help Desk– Handling of users’ requests for information and help– Complaints handling

Documentation Desk- Handling of Documentation requests

mailto:[email protected]


Mission Planning

ERS-2, Envisat (A)SAR and MERIS FR– Conflict resolution (instrument, on-board recording,

DRS availability restrictions)– Generation of conflict-free Mission Operations Plan– Stations scheduling

ALOS– Generation of conflict-free Mission Operations Plan– ADEN stations scheduling

DataSets


DAP and Data Sets concept

• GSC users’ needs have been collected into the DAP-R (Data Access Portfolio - Requirements) document

• Mission capacity is being analysed to define a potential supply with the CMs

• Data offer towards eligible GMES services will be described in the DAP (Data Access Portfolio) in the form of pre-identified sets of multi-mission coherent collections of Earth Observation products (Data Sets)

• DAP will be reviewed every 15-18 months to integrate new requirements

• Only a percentage (~25%) of total data provision will be for satisfying non-predefined data requests during emergencies
