  1. Overview & International Perspective EOS Capabilities, Needs, Gaps & Resolutions: 14th October 2014 Presented by Stephen Ward

  2. Introduction and Overview • Topics • Supply: current and future outlook • Supply features • International interfaces • Data policies • Domestic coordination

  3. Supply: current and future outlook

  4. Supply: current and future outlook • CEOS Database 2014 Update • Annual update cycle • Responses received from 27 CEOS agencies • 23 new mission records added, 117 existing records updated • 44 new instrument records added, 156 existing records updated • Currently features operating or planned for launch in the next 15 years: • 267 Earth observing satellite missions • 784 instruments

  5. Supply: current and future outlook Instrument Types Source: CEOS EOHandbook http://eohandbook.com/

  10. Coordination Frameworks • Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) • Australia Chair (Alex Held) in 2016 • CEO also in 2016-17 • Group on Earth Observations (GEO and GEOSS) • Global Earth Observation System of Systems – satellite and in situ • Many initiatives, including forests, agriculture, and water • Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) • Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) • “Essential Climate Variables” • International Charter on Space and Major Disasters

  11. Growth context • “The number of satellites launched by civil government and commercial entities is expected to more than double over the next decade” • $35.8B USD in manufacturing revenues • “The market for commercial EO data was valued at $1.5 billion in 2012.” • Growth slowing to 7%, and consolidation of operators • Manufacturing revenues rising, but the average cost of a non-Meteorological EO satellite falling Euroconsult, 2013

  12. Growth context • Austerity and budget pressures in North America and Europe squeezing expenditures • Major programs like Copernicus and NOAA’s meteorological missions face some uncertainty • Increasingly stable • EO remains a priority for R&D mandated space agencies like NASA, ESA, JAXA • Climate change and environmental monitoring driving Euroconsult, 2013

  13. Growth context • “Overall civil government investment in EO totaled $7.7 billion in 2012” • “$5.5 billion (71%) of total investment in 2012 was attributed to North America and Europe” • Russia, India and China all ramping up spending more quickly • Support to national policy interests, autonomy in space applications, national industry • Lagging, but increasing quality in terms of ground/spectral/radiometric resolutions, accuracy, and lifespan Euroconsult, 2013

  14. Measurement Categories Atmosphere, Land, Oceans + Snow/Ice and Earth Science

  15. Atmospheric Measurements Clouds, temperature, pressure, gas composition

  16. Land Measurements Land cover, vegetation, reflectance, topography

  17. Ocean Measurements Colour, topography, winds, temperature, sea level

  18. Example timeline from database.eohandbook.com

  19. Data policies • Australia at the mercy of data policy trends • Mixed bag internationally • USA – free and open, new Civil EO Plan • Japan – commercial (at higher resn) • Europe – free and open, but questions on the data system and politics; Sentinel-2 could change the world

  20. Australian needs and supply • CEODA process a welcome, formalised documentation of requirements

  21. Australian needs and supply • 2014 CEODA update underway by GA • Socio-economic benefits (ACIL Allen) and supply risks (Symbios) studies also underway to provide business case arguments for investing in selected EO data streams

  22. Australian coordination context

  23. Australian coordination • Federal coordination budget/staff/interest reduced (SPU/SCO) • Satellite utilisation policy – terminated trajectory? • No publication of National EO Infrastructure Plan • GA/CSIRO/BOM diligent on CEODA update and political arguments • AEOCCG an active voice and advocate • Substantial processes and mechanisms exist – including through agencies with operational responsibility and mandate
