Land cover monitoring for water resources management in Angola

Water resources management has become a challenging problem worldwide, especially in developing countries. The lack of information on land cover monitoring has a huge impact on the water resources management, since it may hamper the collection, treatment and distribution of water for human consumption and agricultural development. To fulfil this demand, Earth Observation (EO) data has been used in African countries to map land cover of large and often inaccessible areas, providing useful information on qualitative and quantitative land cover changes.

Development of EO indicators for the dynamic destrification in the Southern Africa

The objective of the study was twofold: i) to analyse the new dynamics of desertification in Southern African region (southern Mozambique, southern Zimbabwe and Northern South Africa) through main achievements of the DesertWatch-Extension; ii) to propose new methods for integration of EO data with different spatial and spectral resolutions, namely the new ESA Proba-V mission, and new field data, in particular, the map of risks on natural disasters in Mozambique.

Automatic Spacecraft Status Characterisation by data mining mission history

This study investigates data mining techniques useful for the health monitoring of spacecraft, focusing on (1) features derived from telemetry parameter time series; (2) derived parameters from auxiliary data sources; (3) Kernel-­‐density estimate (KDE) based data density change detection; (5) Poincaré plot analysis; (6) command effect analysis

Automatic Spacecraft Status Characterisation By Data Mining Mission History

The main purpose of this project, as mentioned in the SoW, was to analyse historical mission data and search for new features which would be useful in the telemetry checking, command verification and procedure writing process in the future.
Features of a signal (or parameter in this context) are defined as characteristics that can be measured or calculated over a given time window (such as mean, standard deviation or minimum of a signal).

Evaluation of requirements on data quality information in relation the Long Term Data Preservation (LTDP) guidelines.

In recent years the need for accessing historical Earth Observation data information has greatly increased, driven by long term scientific and environmental monitoring. The need to preserve such data indefinitely has led to the establishment of the Long-Term Data Preservation (LTDP) guidelines for Earth Observation. However to make full use of this data, it is necessary to have sufficient quality information available to be assured about the data quality.

Earth Observation Multi-mission Phase-E2 Operational Calibration

ESA has a leading role in establishing and maintaining quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) strategies in all phases of its Earth Observation (EO) missions. Expressed in the Mission Requirement Documents (MRDs) and in the Phase E Management Plan, these strategies ensure that instrument performance and generated products are monitored and that the scientific and operational mission requirements are met or even exceeded.
