The FEOMI Project -
Building an Infrastructure for ESA Processing
and Archiving Centres


Summary

In the past, earth observation facilities for data reception, processing and archiving were usually separately developed for each satellite, leading to system incompatibility and high maintenance costs, with the integration of new missions difficult, or sometimes even impossible to achieve.

The ESA Project FEOMI (ESA E.O. Facilities Evolution into an Open Multi-mission Infrastructure) has been set up to build a multi-mission, re-usable infrastructure for ESA ground segments.

This activity results from the general ESA strategy, adopted in 2003, to exploit commonalities between missions to streamline development and operation of ESA ground segments.

The project has been awarded to a European consortium of DLR/DFD, DATAMAT (Italy) and Werum Software & Systems AG (Germany), and began in September 2004. The consortium combines deep knowledge of the existing ESA ground segments with long-standing experience in the development and operation of multi-mission ground segment facilities.

Currently, nine ESA centres are to be equipped with the new infrastructure, termed MMFI (Multi-Mission Facility Infrastructure).

This presentation shows the architecture of the new ESA MMFI with the main building blocks data ingestion, data library, processing, request handling and dissemination. These elements handle key ground segment scenarios, like systematic data ingestion, on-request production, systematic data driven production, large scale re-processing as well as various dissemination strategies.
