| CEOS MISSIONS, INSTRUMENTS, MEASUREMENTS and DATASETS
|
The CEOS Database is updated annually based on a survey of CEOS member space agencies and has a number of applications.
-
Information sharing in support of the coordination of future Earth observation mission, instrument and measurements plans.
-
-
A connection between the Earth observation user community and satellite-operating agencies of CEOS.
-
The CEOS Database is updated annualy (usually October/November).
It is the only official consolidated statement of the programmes and plans of CEOS agencies. Contents are provided by CEOS agencies, and while best efforts are made to keep the database up to date, information from individual agencies supersedes information presented here.
The database currently features details of
524
Earth observing satellite missions and
920
instruments
( 462
distinct instruments, some being repeats), which are currently operating or planned for launch in the next 15 years - funded and operated by around 30 CEOS space agencies worldwide.
