SDCG developments • CEOS Space Data Coordination Group is working to develop the Baseline global data acquisition strategy for GFOI • SDCG-2 hosted by USGS, Sept 13-14. Attended by all key space agencies (CNES, CONAE, CSA, DLR, ESA, JAXA, NASA, USGS + INPE via video link) • Report remains a work in progress – more time needed (SDCG-3) • Visualisation tools required for planning and to provide quantitative results for coverage - NASA SEO willing to support • Tools can be recycled to provide ongoing acquisition progress reporting for GFOI – showing which data that countries can expect for their territory year on year • Significant work remains to finalise report and Co-Chairs and SEC are preparing a plan to work towards a pre-xmas delivery for a v1.0 for review and finalisation by SDCG-3 (and more importantly SIT-28) • Baseline strategy is a living document that will be continually refined as new satellite missions become operational (information tools key for this)
Issues arising from SIT & SDCG meetings • Need to demonstrate utilisation of the archive amassed for the NDs – can GFOI leads identify planned activity that might make visible application of the CEOS GFOI archive for a demonstrator GFOI dataset? • SDCG-3 (and related) meeting dates for Australia need to be finalised ASAP • Travel budgets are tight and lots of notice needed • Ideally SDCG will come after SDS in the 2-week window • SDCG approach and capabilities has sparked imagination of CEOS/GEO • Moving CEOS/GEO closer to ‘delivery’ • Request from GEOGLAM to support their strategy design • Provisional acceptance – subject to demands of GFOI • SDCG was established solely for GFOI and remains ad-hoc • Strong continued support from CEOS but data usage must be demonstrated • Clarity on evolution of FCT NDs to GFOI participating countries also needed – and agreement on expansion priorities
