1. ISERV Pathfinder The ISS SERVIR Environmental Research and Visualization System Project Overview Presentation to POIWG July 26, 2011

2. 2 About SERVIR SERVIR – Spanish for “to serve” – is a regional visualization and monitoring system that integrates Earth observations (e.g., space imagery), predictive models, and in situ data to provide timely information products to support environmental decision makers. SERVIR integrates satellite observations, ground-based data, and predictive models to monitor and forecast environmental changes and to improve response to natural disasters. SERVIR enables scientists, educators, project managers, and policy implementers to respond better to a range of issues including disaster management, agricultural development, biodiversity conservation, and climate change. Endorsed by governments of Central America, Africa, and Asia, and principally supported by NASA and the US Agency of International Development (USAID), a strong emphasis is placed on partnerships to fortify the availability of searchable and viewable Earth observations, measurements, visualizations, and analysis. The SERVIR coordination office and rapid prototyping facility is located at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Regional SERVIR hubs are located at the Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC) in Panama, the Regional Center for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) in Kenya, and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Nepal.

7. SERVIR Concept of Operations 7 SERVIR uses a variety of Earth observation satellite data sources. SERVIR produces various products to support environmental decisions, disaster response, and other societal benefit areas. In emergencies, SERVIR must task commercial and public data sources (including NASA) to monitor and assess disasters. A dedicated platform for data acquisition would facilitate disaster preparedness and response, environmental assessment, the production of science-based decision support products for SERVIR and the applied sciences community. SERVIR controls no physical assets for data acquisition. There is general lack of access to timely data during disasters. This is what keeps us up nights!!!

20. A Pathfinder for SERVIR & ISS As a preliminary step, we proposed to develop a Pathfinder imaging system for developmental testing in WORF to: –Develop general tasking, utilization, ground command, data acquisition, and processing experience –Develop image acquisition, processing, and analysis capabilities –Develop full command / acquisition / processing operations capabilities for ISERV humanitarian aid & disaster monitoring and assessment operational requirements. –Inform the definition of requirements for an operational external ISERV Imaging System 20

21. What Do We Expect? The primary result of ISERV Pathfinder will be operational experience to inform and improve the design of an operational, external SERVIR imaging system. Low-cost Pathfinder testing will buy down programmatic and technical risk with the eventual operational, external SERVIR imaging system. Nonetheless, we do anticipate acquiring images with utility for humanitarian assistance and Earth science applications. 2/15/2011 21 “We even have visions of putting an instrument aboard the International Space Station that would help us with SERVIR, that would widen and increase our ability to provide even more data to the decision makers and the like.” Administrator Charlie Bolden at the MSFC All-hands November 16, 2010
