Abstract: Virtual research centre of digital preservation in Europe provides a natural basis for long-term consolidation of digital preservation research and expertise. Spatial Data Infrastructure will cover technical methods for preservation, access and most importantly re-use of data holdings over the whole lifecycle; legal and economic issues including costs and governance issues as well as digital rights; and outreach within and outside the consortium to help to create a discipline of data curators with appropriate qualifications. Main tasks of Spatial Data Infrastructure SDI development are building global infrastructure for IT and geodata; satellite information harmonization; usage of agreed upon set of standards; clear documentation describing the parts of the system; interoperability between independently created applications and databases; common standards within their interfaces, protocols and data formats; and finally support of a general data policy for data creation, access, and support of satellite information. Fundamental principle of Russian segment of SDI is providing interoperability – the ability of interaction for heterogeneous services and data catalogues within the bounds of a unified informational system. The Russian segment of distributed informational system has been built on the basis of EOLI-XML and SSE technologies.

Abstract:

Satellites in a low-Earth (under 450 km) near-polar orbits provide the required high resolution gravity and magnetic-field measurements. The application of Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking aboard CHAMP and GRACE missions, satellite gradientometry (GOCE mission) makes possible the reliable highly accurate assessments Earth’s gravitational potential. Combining GOCE-TIM4 model with EIGEN-6C and EGM 2008 for degree expansion from 251 to n=1420 and n=2190 form the basis of elaboration new local and regional gravity models. Swarm satellite early magnetic field measurements explicit advantage is taken by including magnetic intensity gradient from the lower satellite pair. Progressively increasing data of global observations opens the way for Earth System Study by bringing disparate sources together.

GPS-tracking on the low orbiting satellites, satellite-to-satellite tracking, satellite gravity gradientometry, sea surface topography, gravity field models, magnetic field gradient satellite data, monitoring solar-terrestrial relations.

Abstract: Catalogues are traditionally used as a basis for Earth observation (EO) data infrastructures, and enable informational support for large amount of data archived. Multiple Access Centre for Regional Satellite Monitoring of Environment FEB RAS focuses on using techniques, technologies and tools developed under European initiatives of creating global EO infrastructures to provide an access to informational and processing services for satellite data. A number of last year projects developed or promoted by European Space Agency (ESA) use service-oriented platform of SSE (Services Support Environment). This papers discusses some means used in these projects to create EO data catalogues, and integrate them into united distributed heterogeneous network. Experience of using this means in the Center is presented.

Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to improve the accessibility of Russian and Ukraine Satellite Remote Sensing data, generating satellite information resources, linking the information resources of Russia and Ukraine with the European eo/Porrtal (metadata/catalogue) system in order to provide interoperable catalogue access and ensuring that end users are involved, provide a single point of access to data.

Abstract: The paper deals with infrastructure that implements "ordering for processing" concept at Multiple Access Centre for Regional Satellite Monitoring of Environment FEB RAS. Functional requirements for th implementation are defined. Basic approaches and technical means are discussed, up-to-date results of the infrastructure implementation are presented, including Integration into Service Support Environment of ESA (European Space Agency).

Abstract: When studying natural and artificial objects using satellite technology spectral data containing information on the distribution of reflecting / emitting properties of physical objects and materials by wavelength are of great importance. It should be noted that the prompt receipt of necessary spectral data from the above mentioned sources is usually the problem. This paper describes an approach to the development of the Bank of the spectral data that has advanced features that enable to realize not only the inquiry and search procedure, but rather a wide range of computational and applied procedures related to the spectral data and their attributes. Based on a systematic analysis of the subject area and the relational database model, a scheme, implemented by means of MS Access. A simple scheme of integration the database in the e-Infrastructure of permanent access to scientific resources of remote sense data is offered.
