1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Monitoring of global change processes has lead to increasing demand for long-term time series of Earth
Observation (EO) data spanning 20 years, or more. These data are necessary to support international activities
and programmes such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the
Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES). Content of EO space data archives is extending from
a few years to decades and their scientific value is continuously increasing hence is well recognized the need to
preserve them without time limitation and to keep the archived EO space data well accessible and exploitable as
they constitute a humankind asset. To preserve these digital assets and to ensure their accessibility and usability
for future generations is the aim of digital long-term preservation. Long-term accessibility and exploitability of
Earth Science data requires that not only sensed data but also the associated knowledge (e.g. technical and
scientific documentation, algorithms, data handling procedures, etc) is properly preserved and made accessible.
Trust of the archived data is also fundamental and therefore it is important to preserve the quality and the
integrity of the data through self-contained information.
The large amount of new Earth Observation missions upcoming in the next years will moreover lead to a major
increase of EO space data volumes. This fact, together with the increased demands from the scientific user
community, marks a challenge for Earth Observation space data holders and archive owners regarding coherent
data preservation and optimum availability and accessibility of the different EO data and products.
A cooperative and harmonised collective approach on Long Term Data Preservation (LTDP) in Europe (i.e. a
European EO LTDP Framework) is fundamental to coordinate and optimise European efforts in the LTDP
domain. The aim is to ultimately preserve the entire European EO space data set for the benefit of all European
countries and users, while at the same time reducing the overall costs of data preservation. Reduction of
operation costs will also reduce the risk that commercial operators discard old archived data because their
reduced commercial interest may in some cases not justify the effort to further archive them.
In 2006, the European Space Agency (ESA) initiated a coordination action to share a common approach towards
the long-term preservation of Earth Observation space data among all European and Canadian stakeholders.
During 2007, the Agency started consultations with its Member States presenting an EO Long Term Data
Preservation strategy [R. 1] targeting the preservation of all European and Canadian EO space data for an
unlimited time-span. The strategy aimed also at ensuring and facilitating access and usability of these data
through the implementation of a cooperative and harmonized collective approach among the EO space data
holders.
The Long Term Data Preservation Working Group with representatives from ASI, CNES, CSA, DLR and ESA
was formed at the end of 2007 within the Ground Segment Coordination Body [GSCB, R. 2] and has been
extended in 2011 with the participation of CCRS and UKSA. The goal of this working group is to define and
promote, with the involvement of all the European Earth Observation space data holders and archive owners, the
European LTDP Common Guidelines [R. 3] and also to increase awareness for long-term data preservation. The
resulting draft LTDP guidelines produced at the beginning of 2008 were reviewed by all ESA member states in
the DOSTAG.
During the 1st Earth Observation Long Term Data Preservation workshop in May 2008 [R. 4] the draft guidelines
and the framework were presented and discussed by all European and Canadian Earth Observation space data
holders and archive owners. The participants discussed and developed a joint strategy to advance long-term data
preservation of EO data both technically and programmatically and recognized the need and benefit of a
common approach. Furthermore they agreed on the draft LTDP Common Guidelines presented at the workshop
as a first concrete and fundamental step to move ahead in creating the Long Term Data Preservation Framework.
ESA was given the task to trigger and coordinate the subsequent steps towards the progressive European LTDP
Framework implementation. A consolidated European LTDP Common Guidelines document was then produced
by the LTDP working group on the basis of the comments and feedback received during the LTDP workshop
and submitted in June 2009 to a public review process with the goal to collect additional comments and feedback

from Earth Observation space data holders and archive owners and to issue an as much as possible agreed upon
version of the document by the end of 2009. The first issue (Issue 1.0) of the European LTDP Common
Guidelines was generated starting from feedback and comments received in the public review process and were
formally approved by GSCB. The LTDP Guidelines are intended to be a living document and are updated
periodically to include the results of additional cooperation activities in Europe (e.g. results from 2nd LTDP
Workshop, R. 5). In addition, the LTDP WG has generated the Earth Observation “Preserved Data Set Content
(PDSC)” document [R. 6] indicating what to preserve in terms of data and associated knowledge and
information during all phases of an Earth Observation mission. In Earth Observation, the “Preserved Data Set
Content (PDSC)” should be comprised as a minimum, in addition to the EO data, of all information which
permit the designated user community to successfully interact, understand and use the EO data as mandated by
the preservation objective. The PDSC states that for an Earth Observation mission (i.e. project, campaign,
experiment), the key data set target of preservation shall be composed by:
1) Data Records (ranging from raw data to higher level products, browses, auxiliary, ancillary and
calibration and validation data set).
2) Processing Software: this includes the processors to generate mission products, visualization, quality
control and value adding software and tools.
3) Mission Documentation
The PDSC document should be used as a “checklist” and opportunely tailored for each EO mission/instrument
according to their specific characteristics and status. For past and current missions, the recovery of the full EO
PDSC content could be trickier and not completely achievable. The Data Curator should in such cases properly
tailor the PDSC for the specific mission and assess the level of recovery that can be targeted. The results of the
PDSC tailoring should consist in an inventory for each EO mission/instrument, and each of the resulting
elements in the inventory, including the elements on which they are dependent or necessary to understand and
use them (e.g. the operating system underlying an EO data processor), should be appraised in terms of physical
state, location and ownership. Risk assessment in terms of capability of preservation and accessibility for each
element of the inventory should be subsequently performed and the most appropriate preservation actions
identified and planned for implementation. The result of this activity should consist of one or more “preservation
strategy and approach” documents. Such document(s) should refer to the LTDP guidelines and clearly define
current compliance and future plans to improve adherence. The identified preservation actions should be then
implemented and the risks associated with inventory elements preservation properly and continuously
monitored. For future missions, the definition of the “Preserved Data Set Content” shall be initiated during the
mission definition and implementation phases and continuously maintained in the following phases.
This European Data Set Document identifies the Mission Datasets that should be addressed for preservation and
mainly includes information on the “Raw data and higher level products” available for each European Mission.
The PDSC document should be tailored for each Dataset described in this document to identify also associated
data Records (e.g. auxiliary data), Processing Software and Documentation to be then further appraised in terms
of status and location and preserved according to the LTDP Guidelines.
1.2 Document Scope and Purpose
Main goal of the European EO Long Term Data Preservation Framework is to preserve the European, and
Canadian, EO space data set for an unlimited time-span ensuring and facilitating the accessibility and usability of
the preserved data sets respecting the individual entities applicable data policies.
The European EO Space Data Set consists of:
1. All EO space data from missions or instruments owned by public or private organisations from European
Member States and Canada.
2. All EO space data over Europe from non-European Member States missions or instruments available
through agreements with European entities (e.g. Third Party Missions managed by the European Space
Agency).

Resourcesat-2 is its follow-on Mission
scheduled for launch in 2008. Each
Resourcesat satellite carries three
Electro-optical cameras as its payload LISS-3, LISS-4 and AWIFS. All the
three are multi-spectral push-broom
scanners with linear array CCDs as
Detectors. LISS-3 and AWIFS operate in
four identical spectral bands in the VISNIR-SWIR range while LISS-4 is a high
resolution camera with three spectral
bands in VIS-NIR range.
Compared to Resourcesat-1, LISS-4
multi-spectral swath has been enhanced
from 23 km to 70 km based on user
needs. Suitable changes including
miniaturization in payload electronics
have been incorporated in Resourcesat2.

Microwave
tracking system
The Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite
instrument is a microwave tracking
system that can be utilized to determine
the precise location of the ENVISAT
satellite. DORIS operates by measuring
the Doppler frequency shift of a radio
signal transmitted from ground stations
and received on-board the satellite.
Currently there are about 50 ground
beacons placed around the globe which
cover about 75% of the ENVISAT
orbit. Precise Doppler shift
measurements are taken using an Sband frequency of 2.03625 GHz, while
a second VHS band signal at 401.25
MHz is used for ionospheric correction
of the propagation delay.
On the ground, DORIS data is
used to create precise orbit
reconstruction models which are
then used for all satellite
instruments requiring precise orbit
position information. In addition,
DORIS operates in a Navigator
mode in which on-board
positioning calculations are
performed in real-time and relayed
to the ground segment.

Radiometer
The MWR instrument on board Envisat
is a derivative of the radiometers used
on the ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites. It is
a dual-channel nadir-pointing Dicketype radiometer, operating at
frequencies of 23.8 GHz and 36.5 GHz.
The main objective of the
microwave radiometer is the
measurement of atmospheric
humidity as supplementary
information for tropospheric path
correction of the radar altimeter
signal, which is influenced both by
the integrated atmospheric water
vapour content and by liquid
water. In addition, MWR
measurement data are useful for
the determination of surface
emissivity and soil moisture over
land, for surface energy budget,
investigations to support
atmospheric studies, and for ice
characterisation.

Radiometer
The Microwave Radiometer - MWR
(sometimes referred to as Microwave
Sounder - MWS) is a nadir-viewing
passive radiometer (two channels at
23.8 and 36.5 GHz) providing
measurements of the total water
content of the atmosphere within a 20
km footprint.
The main purpose of the
microwave radiometer is the
measurement of the tropospheric
path delay for the altimeter
through the measurements of the
atmospheric integrated water
vapor content and the estimate of
the attenuation of the altimetric
signal by the liquid water content
of the clouds.
