    ESA’s mission mandates a strong reliance on external, temporary workforce to support geo-return. Without maintaining internal capabilities, the efficient management of such a workforce becomes impossible.

     

     

    Data access 

    A key requirement from our community is the ability to access space science mission data through an interface that allows to execute scientific analyses without a need to move data to a client device.

     

     

    Quality Control

    There is a need to enforce policies to ensure compliance with ESA standards and to improve utilization of data for scientific and operational use-cases.
