Abstract
The EarthDaily Analytics team is actively building a constellation of highly innovative satellites, capable of covering the earth’s landmass every day with a novel set of spectral channels selected to serve a wide range of applications. This new data will flow through our EarthPipeline, a completely automated Ground Segment-as-a-Service offering, capable of processing, calibrating and validating not only the data from EarthDaily Analytics’ constellation but data from multiple partners’s constellations as well.
We know that nearly every application targeted by EarthDaily Analytics, agriculture, forestry, water and many more, will all benefit greatly from the science-grade imagery and analytics that the EarthPipeline will deliver. With novel spectral channels, ranging from visible through to thermal, combined with the objective to deliver high-value imagery and analytics, comes several calibration and validation challenges.
We will discuss the EarthDaily constellation and the EarthPipeline, will delve into our rigorous pre-launch cal/val processes and present our progress to date, and discuss how we will ultimately address these various challenges in order to achieve the radiometric, geometric and retrieval accuracy requirements necessary to achieve the science-grade data products.
