Definition
- Mission Statement The Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project is responsible for providing scientific and other users access to data from NASA's Earth science missions: * The ESDIS Project provides access to data through the development and operation of the science systems of the Earth Observing System (EOS) Data and Information System (EOSDIS) * Data products from EOS and other NASA Earth science missions are stored at several data centers to support interactive and interoperable retrieval and distribution of data products * For the design, development, integration, testing, and operation of the science systems, the ESDIS Project provides: o Project management o Systems engineering o Technical direction * To evolve the capabilities of EOSDIS to support changing user requirements, the ESDIS Project coordinates development of scientific, discipline-unique functions at the data centers * The ESDIS Project is part of the Earth Science Projects Division, the designated Earth science program management office for flight, ground, and science performed at the GSFC * The ESDIS Project supports the Earth Science Division at NASA Headquarters in representing NASA in interagency and international working groups: o To develop standards for science information exchange o To develop interoperability functions with other data centers Summary provided by http://www.esdis.eosdis.nasa.gov/about/mission.html (en)
