Overview of the GMES Space Component & DMC as a GMES Contributing Mission Eleni Paliouras GMES Space Office, Directorate of Earth Observation, ESA DMC Consortium Meeting, London 16/02/2011 ESA UNCLASSIFIED For Official Use
What is GMES? An end user-focused program of services for environment and security Europe s response to the global need for environment and climate monitoring An independent earth observation system for Europe The largest fleet of satellites with atmosphere/earthbased monitoring instruments in the world Joined-up information for policymakers, scientists, businesses and the public Eleni Paliouras DMC Consortium Meeting 16/02/2011 Slide 2
GMES: An Overall View USERS Policy Makers & Public & Private, Commercial Who uses them? Farming Oil Spills Air Quality Floods Surveillance Example Applications Land Marine Atmosphere Emergency Security Information Services Space Infrastructure & In Situ Infrastructure Sustainable observations OBSERVATION Eleni Paliouras DMC Consortium Meeting 16/02/2011 Slide 3
GMES Components Service Component coordinated by EC Development and operational provision of targeted information products responding to European policy priorities In-situ component coordinated by EEA Consolidation and coordination - at European level - measurements collected at mostly national level Space Component coordinated by ESA Assurance of long-term availability of operational Earth Observation data Sentinels - EO missions developed specifically for GMES Access to data of Contributing Missions Eleni Paliouras DMC Consortium Meeting 16/02/2011 Slide 4

January 2011 Status of Africa Coverage 97% sub-saharan Africa acquired with <20% cloud cover Cloud-free coverage for 1886 confluence points Acquisitions over remaining countries and confluence points continue to improve coverage Eleni Paliouras DMC Consortium Meeting 16/02/2011 Slide 10
Possible models for 2014+ access to GMES Contributing Mission data Free of charge access to GCM data Generally applicable to scientific/non-commercial mission data Bulk procurement of large volumes of data customized licensing scheme according to service requirements long-term contracts against multi-use data licenses advancements could be possible in payment profiles Co-investment in missions and/or related infrastructure GMES shares parts of technical and financial risks long-term rights to capacity granted against co-investment Europeanization of observation infrastructure create a new European observation capacity rather than rely on national assets for certain observation domains Eleni Paliouras DMC Consortium Meeting 16/02/2011 Slide 11
