GMES Service Element (GSE)

Prime objectives: Maximum use of EO in support of European

policies on environment and security

Basis for future EO operational systems for the benefits of Europe’s citizens

GSE is a key element and critical milestone for GMES.

It is in the middle of its successful implementation phase.

GSE services must fulfill: Availability

Reliability

Affordability

The International Charter on Space and Major Disasters

Charter: a precursor

Initiated by CNES and ESA, joined by CSA, NOAA, ISRO, CONAE & JAXA

Unified system of space data acquisition / delivery in case of natural or human-made disasters

Data delivery to civil protection agencies, emergency & rescue services; UN cooperating body since 2003

Operational since 2000: 24 hrs on-duty-operator, data resources from all Charter members

Recent Examples of Charter Activation:

Socio-Economic benefits

Objectives

• Impact assessment for all significant new investment• Support member states in investment decision• Better understand how GMES will impact on key

stakeholders to support future discussions and priority setting – key groups include:

– Public sector legally mandated organisations– The citizen (directly and indirectly)– European industry (eg competitiveness, pollution control

effectiveness) – Politicians – Regional and global monitoring programmes

• Promote benefits from GMES implementation to wider audience

Outcome and schedule

What will be delivered?– Key benefits to be expected arising from GMES implementation– A political and strategic view of the benefits and impacts due to

GMES implementation– Benefits evaluated against cost envelopes from an economic

perspective– Variation in benefit resulting from different implementation levels

for GMES

Schedule– Kick-Off meeting March 2005– First versions of analysis by June/July 2005– Final versions of analyses by November 2005

Atmospheric composition monitoring

• Detailed definition of Sentinels and of its operations concept. • Establish the mission and system concept, • Demonstrate the feasibility • Provide the design• Validate in System Requirements Review (SRR) as per ECSS-

M-30A• Analysis of mission and system functions and requirements for

all mission elements, • Programmatic: system engineering approach, model concept,

development planning, schedule and cost estimates,• Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 include also the analysis of the

accommodation of the 3-band payload defined in the Fuegosat

Sentinel (1-2-3) Definition Studies

GMES Sentinels Payload Ground Segment

• Objectives– Define and design – the multi-mission PDS architecture and operational concept – to be applied to the GMES Sentinel (i.e.: 1, 2 and 3 series), – building over current and past mission PDGS gained experience– Specifying the:

• multi-mission and mission-specific PDS modules • and their interfaces,

– and providing an implementation plan including the costs, schedule and risks.

• Scope– All PDGS functions – Including the interface to the EO data access layer

Heterogeneous missions accessibility (inter-operability)

• Objectives– Define, standardize and prototype – harmonized interface for the GMES Service Users with the different EO data

providers, – to allow an easy and cost-effective access to heterogeneous EO mission data

• Scope– GMES EO products and its format (*) – EO products quality certification, including methods and criteria and across-

mission calibration and validation standards (*)– Interface for ordering/programming, catalogue access, and on-line data

access. – user management and administration– EO data supply agreements (common GMES data policy and Service Level

Agreement) to be adhered by the GMES satellite data providers. (**)

GMES Space Component Programme

… addresses the following elements

1. Space observations: Sentinels National missions, Eumetsat and TPM

2. GMES ground segment required to manage space data

3. Integration of new space data into GMES services

Not addressed in the GMES proposal are … In-situ observations Policy & regulatory framework Institutional structure to govern, finance and operate GMES

Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES)

GMES

“GMES is a joint initiative of ESA and the EC to respond to the

need to establish, by 2008, a European Capacity for Global Monitoring

of Environment and Security to support the public policy maker’s need

for global access to reliable, accurate and up-to-date informationreliable, accurate and up-to-date information on

issues of environment and security”EC Communication COM(2001)264, 15 April 2001
