Talks
Creating open collaboration in the cloud with ESA's BIOMASS Multi-Mission Analysis and Algorithm Platform (MAAP)
The goal of the Multi-Mission Algorithm and Analysis Platform of the European Space Agency (ESA-MAAP) is to bring together mission data with hosted processing and collaborative tools. In this talk I will show how we use the Open Source Scientific Python stack to design the platform and create the opportunity to build a community of users for new Earth Observation missions like ESA's BIOMASS mission.
