Update - The Earth Observing System (EOS) forward and return link data processing and communications servicesAn overview is presented of the EOS ground support services in order to identify interfaces to and drivers of the data processing and communication systems. Generic system requirements are compared with those specifically needed for EOS, including processing requirements for forward link and return link data. Communications requirements for transporting the forward link data from the EOS Operations Center and for the transfer of level zero data to the EOS Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Centers are specified. The forward and return link processing requirements of the EOS instruments from the international partners are also addressed. The overall context of EOSDIS in the Mission to Planet Earth Program is addressed.
