  1. CBERS Program: An Overview Earth Observation Directorate September 2004 Prepared by José Carlos Epiphanio (CBERS Application Program Manager) and Gilberto Câmara (Director for Earth Observation)

  2. CBERS: China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite • Brief History • Initial agreement signed in July 6th, 1988, covering CBERS-1 and 2. • In 2002, both governments decided to expand the initial agreement by including CBERS-3 and 4. • Program objectives • Build a family of remote sensing satellites to support the needs of users in earth resources applications • Improve the industrial capabilities of space technology in Brazil and China

  3. CBERS Program Timeline

  31. CBERS Ground Station in Brazil • Developed by Brazilian company and INPE • Major cost saving • User-centered design • User requests products in a web interface • Products are generated automatically • User can download products via FTP • Efficiency and scalability • Based on low-cost Linux PCs • Totally automated, no operator intervention

  32. Ground Station Design Principles • Low-cost hardware • Standard PCs • Open software and standards • Linux, GCC, Apache, PHP, MySQL, HDF, GeoTIFF, XML • Scalability and automation • Modules, distributed processing • Use of Internet technology • Scripting languages, Web browser

  33. CBERS Image Distribution in Brazil (May to August 2004)

  34. FTP area for User

  35. Data Policy for CBERS • Three different situation • Case 1: Distribution of data received at China and Brazil • Case 2: Use of on-board data recorder • Case 3: Data reception and distribution by other ground stations

  36. Case 1 Imagens received by Brazil/China ground stations • These ground stations have unlimited access to all data collected within their footprint. • The policy for distribution of data collected by those ground stations will be decided by each operator. • CRESDA can distribute all data collected by the Urumqi, Guangzhou and Beijing ground stations according to its best interests • INPE can distribute all data collected by the Cuiaba ground station according to its best interests

  37. CASE 2 - Images obtained by OBDR • INPE and CRESDA have exclusive rights for use of on-board data recorder for CBERS-2 and CBERS-2B

  38. CASE 3 – Distribution of Images Outside Brazil/China • CRESDA and INPE will license a third party company that will sell access time to CBERS for international ground stations • CBERS is marketed as a LANDSAT-class satelite • Access fee covers full downlink to data on ground station footprint • Software and hardware for CBERS ground stations is provided by a company licensed by INPE and CRESDA
