Over the past decade, operational Copernicus Sentinels Data Processors have generated vast amounts of Earth observation data, supporting various scientific and commercial applications. However, current format used by ESA to provide known as SAFE (Standard Archive Format for Europe), has become outdated. To address this, initiated transition a new Zarr-based data format. The Observation Processing Framework (EOPF) Sample Service is ESA’s official initiative support this providing...
Gravitational features are a fundamental source of information to learn more about the interior structure and composition planets, moons, asteroids comets. field modeling typically approximates target body with sphere, leading representation in spherical harmonics. However, small celestial bodies often irregular shape, hence poorly approximated by sphere. A much better suited geometrical fit is achieved tri-axial ellipsoid. This also mirrored fact that associated harmonic expansion...
The aim of this study is first to determine the gravity field comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko and second derive solar component precession rate nutation coefficients spin-axis nucleus, i.e. without direct, usually larger, effect outgassing. related moments inertia are obtained from two polyhedra, which provided by Optical, Spectroscopic, Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS) NAVigation CAMera (NAVCAM) experiments on Rosetta, based assumption uniform density for nucleus. We also calculate...
This paper describes two different mapping projects in the upper Langtang Valley, Central Himalaya, Nepal, applying close-range photogrammetry using a non-metric consumer-grade digital camera Nikon D300.Data acquisition (terrestrial photographs, and additional handheld GPS laser distance measurements) was carried out during field campaign April 2010.The first project aimed to document present extent of glacier tongue Kyimoshung Glacier, Himal, compare this glacial stage with an earlier one...
An adequate compute and storage infrastructure supporting the full exploitation of Copernicus Earth Observation datasets is currently not available in Europe. This paper presents cross-disciplinary open-source technologies being leveraged C-SCALE project to develop an open federation data providers as alternative monolithic infrastructures for processing analysing data. Three critical aspects chosen are elaborated upon: (1) federated discovery, (2) access (3) software distribution. With...
