| Abstract |
The Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project is responsible for providing
scientific and other users access to data from NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. The ESDIS
Project provides this access through the development and operation of the Earth Observing
System (EOS) Data and Information System (EOSDIS). For EOS, EOSDIS will capture and
process telemetry data, generate higher level standard data products, and perform mission
operations for instrument and spacecraft control. Data products from EOS and other NASA
Earth science missions will be stored at several Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs)
to support interactive and interoperable retrieval and distribution of data products. The
ESDIS Project also provides project management, systems engineering, and technical
direction for the design, development, integration, test and operation of the overall system;
coordinates development of scientific discipline-unique functions at the DAACs; and
manages and directs prototyping and application of technology to evolve the capabilities of
EOSDIS to support changing user requirements.
