5. www.earthobservations.org www.gfoi.org SDCG-6 Oslo, Norway October 22-24, 2014 Data provision for R&D Pléiades and SPOT 1-5 data (SWH) can be shared for science Limitation in quantity of data available is budget driven, CNES will contribute > 50k€/year, external contributions for Pléiades/SPOT would extend access Request procedures: One proposal/report can cover all GFOI requests. Format can be standardised to that of other agencies. Data Access procedures: download from image database at CNES by registered science users (ISIS programme). Registration involves signing an agreement with CNES Processing levels: Level 1 or Ortho according to user requirements CNES
