About ESDIS Project
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:
- Project management
- Systems engineering
- 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:
- To develop standards for science information exchange
- To develop interoperability functions with other data centers
