A study conducted during the ONION project [22] pointed out that most Copernicus services would benefit from higher temporal resolutions. The study also implemented a structured database to capture value-chain Node instruments Instrument archetypes generated from user needs and their feasible combinations.…”

Earth observation satellite programs are currently facing, for some applications, the need to deliver hourly revisit times, sub-kilometric spatial resolutions and near-real-time data access times. These stringent requirements, combined with the consolidation of small-satellite platforms and novel distributed architecture approaches, are stressing the need to study the design of new, heterogeneous and heavily networked satellite systems that can potentially replace or complement traditional space assets. In this context, this paper presents partial results from ONION, a research project devoted to studying distributed satellite systems and their architecting characteristics. A design-oriented framework that allows selecting optimal architectures for a given user needs is presented in this paper. The framework has been used in the study of a strategic use-case and its results are hereby presented. From an initial design space of 5586 potential architectures, the framework has been able to pre-select 28 candidate designs by an exhaustive analysis of their performance and by quantifying their quality attributes.

“…This study focuses on the identification of the EO measurements gaps in the time frame from 2020-2030, to complement the Copernicus space infrastructure, based on the top 10 use cases [1]. These use cases are not satisfied by the existing Copernicus infrastructure, and they were generated through a quantitative methodology that involved the prioritization of 38 EO data needs (the complete list of the identified needs with their description is presented in Table 1), 96 products across the six Copernicus services, 63 stakeholders, 131 measurements and 48 uses cases, which were scored.…”

“…The methodology used in this work is described in Figure 1. First, the top 10 use cases were ranked according to the end-user needs [1], and end-user requirements were defined [2]. Second, a database of the future Copernicus instruments and contributing missions was generated to analyze the measurement gaps in the horizon 2020-2030.…”

This work was developed as part of the European H2020 ONION (Operational Network of Individual Observation Nodes) project, aiming at identifying the technological opportunity areas to complement the Copernicus space infrastructure in the horizon 2020-2030 for polar region monitoring. The European Earth Observation (EO) infrastructure is assessed through of comprehensive end-user need and data gap analysis. This review was based on the top 10 use cases, identifying 20 measurements with gaps and 13 potential EO technologies to cover the identified gaps. It was found that the top priority is the observation of polar regions to support sustainable and safe commercial activities and the preservation of the environment. Additionally, an analysis of the technological limitations based on measurement requirements was performed. Finally, this analysis was used for the basis of the architecture design of a potential polar mission.

“…The H2020 Operational Network of Individual Observation Node (ONION) project identified the main needs of the space segment infrastructure of the Copernicus system and identified the key technology challenges to be faced in the future, taking into account the user requirements at the center of the design process. The ONION project analyzed the user needs and ranked the top 10 use cases [5]. Each use case is associated with a Copernicus service, and they are formed by a set of measurements required to meet the users' needs.…”

“…The measurements are the geophysical products derived from satellite observations. In addition, the measurement gaps and user requirements were identified and defined by the ONION project (Table 1) [5,6], taking into account if, in the coming decade, the Copernicus and contributing missions satisfy the user requirements. This work focuses on the identification of the potential sensor technologies and platforms to meet those needs detected.…”

An optimal payload selection conducted in the frame of the H2020 ONION project (id 687490) is presented based on the ability to cover the observation needs of the Copernicus system in the time period 2020–2030. Payload selection is constrained by the variables that can be measured, the power consumption, and weight of the instrument, and the required accuracy and spatial resolution (horizontal or vertical). It involved 20 measurements with observation gaps according to the user requirements that were detected in the top 10 use cases in the scope of Copernicus space infrastructure, 9 potential applied technologies, and 39 available commercial platforms. Additional Earth Observation (EO) infrastructures are proposed to reduce measurements gaps, based on a weighting system that assigned high relevance for measurements associated to Marine for Weather Forecast over Polar Regions. This study concludes with a rank and mapping of the potential technologies and the suitable commercial platforms to cover most of the requirements of the top ten use cases, analyzing the Marine for Weather Forecast, Sea Ice Monitoring, Fishing Pressure, and Agriculture and Forestry: Hydric stress as the priority use cases.
