(DATA MINING)
 |
 |
|
e.s.c has supported the data mining tools for NASA Solarsoft packages for FITS files. e.s.c delivers a viewer that could find and display all measurements over any period. Operator can process more millions measurements in relatively short time
do data mining and query all measurements under some conditions. It is useful even for sensor diagnostics when an operator could query how many measurements have been done
do complex queries |

(EO) EARTH OBSERVATION and REMOTE SENSING
|
|
|
Swarm will be the fourth Earth Explorer satellite in orbit, following the Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE), launched by Eurockot in March 2009, the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite, also launched by Eurockot, in November 2009, and CryoSat, launched by Kosmotras in April 2010.
Earth Explorers selection flyer (download)
The series of Earth Explorer satellites provides a unique approach to observing Earth from space. Developed in direct response to issues raised by the scientific community, they improve our understanding of how the 'Earth system' works and the effect that human activity is having on natural processes.
