The eoPortal aims to open the door to the world of
Earth Observation resources.
By giving access to a large
variety of information and services, eoPortal aims to provide a
single access point for Earth Observation information and services
including satellite imagery, a directory to locate data and
resources, direct access to earth-observing satellite data as well
as map servers and cartographic resources.

History |
|
eoPortal evolved from the INFEO system and its
predecessor EWSE. INFEO was developed as part of the framework of
the CEO programme/project for and by the SSSA Unit of Space
Applications Institute within the Joint Research Centre of the
European Commission. It was transferred to the European Space
Agency/ESRIN in Frascati (Italy) in 2001 for operations.
In
keeping with ESA's plans for the "Oxygen Initiative" (see A
New Perspective for Earth: the Oxygen Project) INFEO has become
eoPortal. The aim is to make the website more user-friendly, to keep
information relevant and up-to-date and to enhance how people access
Earth Observation resources.
We welcome your feedback and
suggestions. We strive to keep our links and resources up-to-date
and encourage our users to do the same. Unfortunately we can not
guarantee that this will be the case with all resources in eoPortal.

Contact eoPortal form if you wish to update a resource or
have suggestions on how we can improve eoPortal.
