13. Developing New Applications & Services with UsersData User Programme / Element

14. The DUP/DUE Programme in a few words • The three major objectives of the Data User Program, as stated in the program declaration, are: • First, to create an environment allowing for the development of user communities for both institutional and commercial applications; • Second, to support European companies to develop and demonstrate information products derived from ESA current and future missions, based on applications already demonstrated in the framework of pilot projects, e.g. the ERS Announcement of Opportunity (AO) projects; • Third, to support industry, i.e. value adding and servicing companies, in establishing useful and cost effective services.

18. User Involvement during the Project User Group: shall devote, at least, 3 man/month of work to the project. This is formalised through letters of commitment (preparation phase). User requirements consolidation Data access & ground truthing Support to products validation Service assessment Service Development EO data Service Products

19. How to Work Together? • First Step - The Set up: • To initiate a project we need from the User (TPN1): • A Letter of Commitment; • A User Requirements Document; • Letter of Commitment • I will commit X men/month of work to: • Consolidate the User Requirements; • Provide access to data and information useful for the project; • Organize a dedicated ground data collection campaign for the project; • To support the validation of the results; • To assess the final service from a user perspective; • User requirements Document • The Service required include the provision of the following geo-information products: • XXX • XXX • The area of interest is the following: …. • The timeframe of interest in the following …. • The format of the products should be the following: ….

20. How to Work Together? • First Step – The Set Up • One of the main objectives of this initial base is to create a solid partnership between ESA and the User group. User Federator Partnership ESA responsible for preparing, placing and running the contract with European and Can. Industry TPN1 responsible for creating and coordinating the National and Local user group National or Local User National or Local User National or Local User Industrial Team

21. How to Work Together? • Second Step - The ITT process: • Using as input the User requirement Documents, ESA engineers will prepare an Statement of Work; • Then, an Invitation to tender will be issued inviting all the European and Canadian industry to submit proposals to carry out the work; • ESA will select the proposal that propose the best solution to mach the User Requirements; • After a successful negotiation, the project is finally kicked-off!

22. How to Work Together? • Third Step - the project: • During the project the collaboration with the users is critical in order to ensure that the final system fully match the user requirements; • The User should collaborate in the project by: • Consolidation of the User requirements; • Provide access to data and information that can be useful for the project; • Organize a dedicated ground data collection campaign for collecting in situ data; • Support the validation of the final results; • Assess the final service from a user perspective; • During the project the User is trained • The User has property right to the information products and services generated for its operational use!

28. CONTRAIL: Air Traffic Environmental Impact (IPCC) Mapping aircraft condensation trails for EUROCONTROL UR: April 2003 KO: November 2003

29. Champion User • EUROCONTROL - Responsible for integrated European air traffic control system • The Process • Cooperation Agreement between ESA and EUROCONTROL • Navigation, in particular GNSS • Telecommunications • Environment • User Requirements meeting at ESRIN 23 April 2003. Three application areas requested by the User: • Aviation-caused atmospheric pollution monitoring • Judged available techniques not currently mature enough to separate aviation from other emission sources • Greenhouse impact of condensation trails • Mature algorithms for mapping contrails exist • Airport environment - Land use and local pollution • Potential future project • During the User Requirements meeting the User was informed of the IPCC hypothesis that aviation-induced cirrus clouds may cause significantly more greenhouse warming than the CO2 emissions due to the fuel burnt. Given the potential implications for the aviation industry if this hypothesis is found to be true, a project to provide a more accurate assessment was considered very high priority by the end user. • CONTRAILS Project • ITT issued on 12 June 2003 • KO on 8 Dec 2003 • Final results due Dec 2005
