![]() The EDAP+ Service also supports ESA in the organisation of workshops related to data quality. A Digital Elevation Models (DEM) Comparison Study is the first of these studies and is currently underway concerning the quality assessment of the DEM in specific conditions. ![]() In addition to the EDAP+ clusters that support specific instrument types, a cluster dedicated to multi-mission studies supports cross-instrument activities with a view to benefiting the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) environment, facilitating future applications and allowing interoperability across missions to foster synergies. The various missions within each of the instrument domains assessed during the pilot phase of the project, are shown below: The various Clusters of Expertise within the EDAP+ consortium are presented below: Supporting ESA in organising workshops related to data quality.Īs its prime contractor, Telespazio UK is responsible for the overall Service Management for EDAP+, as well as the coordination and provision of expertise for both the Optical and AIS & RF (Automatic Identification System & Radio Frequency) domains, covering specifically identified calibration and validation related tasks.Undertaking multi-mission data quality assessments, facilitating future applications and allowing interoperability across missions to foster synergies.Creating Clusters of Expertise teams of instrument experts to perform the assessment focusing on specific instrument domains covering high-resolution and very-high resolution optical, SAR sensors, atmospheric missions and AIS & RF missions.Performing Early Data Quality Assessments on a series of ‘New Space’ instruments and missions, based on the defined best practice guidelines.Evolving the Quality Assurance (QA) framework and best practice guidelines that were generated during the pilot and developing new frameworks aligned to QA4EO guidelines in the case of Atmospheric and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) –> Best Practice.The EDAP+ service is responsible for the following: In this context and building upon the work done by its pilot predecessor project (EDAP – 2018-2021), EDAP+, headed by Telespazio UK, provides a consortium of expertise to assess data quality and the suitability of individual missions for this purpose, as well as to establish dialogue with the various mission providers to improve the overall coherence of the EO system. ESA aims to foster cooperation and collaboration not only with other national space agencies, but also with these ‘New Space’ players, with the intention to integrate some of these non-ESA missions (Third Party Missions) into their long-standing Earthnet Programme. Furthermore, the tokens offer a transparent and auditable way to balance CO2 footprints.Recent availability of low-cost small satellites and innovation of constellations has resulted in an increasing number of commercial companies having established information services fed by their own satellite systems. The tokens will be tradable and their price will grow with the rising demand and rising global carbon prices, it said. The pre-sale for the tokens will go live in late summer 2021 and the public sale will begin by the end of 2021. The company also combines satellite data, big data analysis and machine learning to build a digital representation of the world’s nature sequesters carbon and holds biodiversity.įinally, its MERIT tokens are issued to landowners who can sell them through the Single.Earth marketplace. Single.Earth works with landowners who conserve and restore forests, wetlands and natural resources, with landowners able to add their land to the platform. One token is generated on the platform for every 100kg of CO2 captured in biodiverse nature. The company claims to turn the ecological value of nature into digital goods called MERIT tokens. Single.Earth tokenises nature for its ecological value – carbon sequestration, storage and biodiversity – with the aim of keeping ecosystems alive through monetisation. With the capital injection, the company will launch its MERIT tokens marketplace as well as grow its team. The investment was backed by EQT Ventures, Icebreaker.vc and Pipedrive founders Ragnar Sass and Martin Henk. ![]() Single.Earth, which claims to be the world’s first nature-backed MERIT tokens, has secured $7.9m in its seed round. ![]()
