Agenda• Why Ground Segment Coordination?• GSCB: what we are, who we are• GSCB organisation and tasks• Achievements• More work ahead
3
Why GSCB• Increasing number of EO missions and operating
entities• Demand for EO data has evolved dramatically in the last
decade– Amount and volume have increased by a factor 10– More than 80% of the EO data users request and use data
from more than one satellite• For GMES Space Component Programme (GSC)
collaboration is essential in the sustainability of the EO data supply assured with a fleet of European EO satellites– Operational and sustainable user services– Avoid unnecessary duplication in technologies
• Harmonization of the various approaches in interfacing the user community and in the PDGS operations and engineering
• Cooperation in the ground segment development, the operations and the data exploitation

GSCB implementation• In 2004, ESA's EO Programme Board ground segment
task force revised the strategy to deal with these challenges in the EO ground segment
• It recommended cooperation and coordination among member states investing in and managing EO Payload Data Ground Segments
• Creation of the Ground Segment Coordination Body (GSCB) in June 2005
9
GSCB Membership• Representation of the owners and holders of European
and Canadian EO data and associated infrastructure– initially key institutional organisations
(ASI, CNES, CSA, DLR, ESA, Eumetsat)– managing their EO ground segment operations and
development
• ESA :– Provides secretariat support– Participates in all tasks and working groups– Uses this group as the main Ground Segment Coordination
mechanism among Member States (ESA convention art. II.c)
10
Institutions and missions involved
11
GCSB Organisation• Permanent consultation group
• Quarterly meetings
• Yearly report
• Ad-hoc technical working groups– When required by members to elaborate, review and
recommend specific technical issues
• Workshops– Consultation of the wider EO Community, including the EO
ground segment industry
12
Scope of the group• Adoption of a common, coordinated and cost-effective
approach on EO ground segment issues
• Facilitate exchange of information, discussion and agreements
• Define and propose: – operational cooperation schemes – agreements for sharing or exchange infrastructure and
data– technical standards
in the management of their EO data and the related ground segment infrastructure
• Members to provide recommendations to their respective programmatic bodies for implementation
13
Tasks (1/2) • Ensure technical and programmatic coordination of all
European activities concerning Earth Observation ground segment development and operation
(e.g.: elaborate a common strategy for long term archiving-which data and how, set up contracts or projects inside and across their respective data holdings, Identify and report on different ground segment setup standards or approaches)
• Build agreements to share operations resources and existing infrastructure for the benefit of the user community
(e.g.: Set up a network of mission planners and order desks, data can be held in other’s archive)
14
Tasks (2/2) • Standardise the ground segment modules, its interfaces
and the programmatic Service Level to access the different EO data sets to:
• Serve service providers in an harmonised way• Serve the European scientific and commercial Earth Observation
users• Provide a unified European technical standards and interfaces
and approach towards GEOSS. • Easy the implementation and integration of new missions and
EO data
• Monitor the implementation and results of the adopted jointly defined guidelines in the different GCSB members
• Recommend policy and programmatic issues as needed towards the respective bodies

Work Plan (2006 – 2008)• Payload Ground Segment reference architecture• Interoperability
– Heterogeneous Mission Accessibility (HMA)– harmonised access across heterogeneous missions
• Common Strategy for long-term Earth Observation data preservation
• Sharing of telecommunications networking infrastructure, both ground and satellite network
• Sharing of design and technologies – Security requirements implementation– Data description, manipulation and generation
• Coordinate and liaise with other coordination bodies (GEO, CEOS)
• Liaison with standardisation bodies and initiatives(OGC, CEN, INSPIRE).– GSCB does not act as a new standardisation body. – identify and promote the use of a common set of
standards

Achievement: Operations concept sharing• common Strategy for long-term Earth Observation data
preservation– technical and managerial approach – data logistics, data access, security and archive operations,
maintenance and evolution – including, data reprocessing and the data integrity– capitalise on policies already in force for preserving digital data
archives (at ESA, national space agencies, EUMETSAT)– consider European Union initiatives like the CASPAR project – first draft proposal commented in GSCB and ESA DOSTAG– ESA long-term data preservation strategy, inspired in this draft
proposal, to be presented to DOSTAG in 2007
• Sharing of telecommunications networking infrastructure, both ground and satellite network – cost-efficiency for the ground segment operators – cost-benefit of procuring higher capacity network infrastructure,
aggregating the need from different EO operators, versus independent procurements
– sharing concept and operational scenario to set-up the agreements among the different EO operators and the networking service provider
– First case: data repatriation of EO data acquired in the Antarctica X-band acquisition stations to Europe.
– Demonstration between ESA, KSAT (Troll Station) and DLR (O’Higgings Station) at end 2007
20
Achievement: PDGS reference architecture• identify the PDGS building blocks and its interfaces
– reusing the experienced of the different ground segment owners and of industrial entities
• identify, eventually define, publish and recommend the adoption of the reference architecture for EO ground segments
• for a simple, user friendly, cost-efficient and inter-operable infrastructure to:– Ease the implementation and integration of new missions and EO
data– Ease competitiveness in ground segment compatible elements
development by industry– Serve the European EO data user community in an harmonised way. – Provide a unified European technical standards and interfaces and
approach towards GEOSS.
• Workshop Information Sessions on:– Ground Segment architecture and operations concept– Security requirements implementation– Data and interface representation tools
21
Next Steps in the Work Plan • EO Interoperability standards
– First implementation for 2009 in the GMES Space Component
– Definition of the harmonised EO data product formats and their quality certification
– Implementation extensions and promotion into GEO
• Ground Segment standard architecture(building blocks and interfaces)– Consolidate high level architecture– Step-wise approach to interface standarisation:
Select the main interfaces through this workshop
• Common Strategy for long-term data preservation– ESA proposal to DOSTAG– Publish the Common Strategy paper
22
Conclusions• The Ground Segment Coordination Body was created to:
– Exchange information amongst mission developers in Europe and Canada
– Harmonise the development of ground segment activities and optimize use of infrastructure
– Ensure easy access to the maximum data available for a wide variety of users
• GSCB has to cope with the challenges of different national and programmatic policies – Dealing with public and private systems – Bringing together systems already in operations with those still in
the planning phase
• GSCB is not a standardization body, but is giving a significant push toward to the definition of ground segment standards
• GSCB is planning periodic information meetings where the key players in the ground segment industry and government are invited
