EnMAP Operations Status

Kurzfassung

The operation of a remote sensing spaceborne mission like EnMAP requires operating a high-precision instrument in Space, the commanding of the instrument according to userprovided parameters, the handling of a large data volume and processing these data on demand according to different processing options. All these aspects pose many challenges from the operational point of view. The EnMAP Ground Segment (GS) provides the infrastructure responsible for the operation of the mission after launch and it acts as the interface between the users and the satellite, overcoming the challenges just mentioned. In this contribution we present the up-to-date status of the EnMAP mission operations when the system has been in operation for two years, the latest updates that have been introduced in the tasking of the instrument and the plans for the future
