Two years of EnMAP Ground Segment Operations

Kurzfassung

Space-borne imaging spectroscopy has enormous potential to improve our understanding of the Earth's dynamic systems and the changes we face today. The ability to obtain spectra from any point on Earth can be used to obtain more precise and quantitative measurements for a variety of different applications. With this in mind, the EnMAP Mission was designed with the aim of providing the scientific community with high-quality hyperspectral data from space. Operating a high-precision instrument in Space that generates a large volume of data, that must be commanded according to user requests and whose data has to be processed on demand according to different processing options, poses many challenges. The infrastructure responsible for the operation of the mission after launch and which must act as the interface between the users and the satellite, overcoming these challenges, is the Ground Segment (GS).
