HDF-EOS Vendor Opportunities
- Large and growing community of EOSDIS users
- In 1996, there were over 20,000 distinct users of earth science data that accessed NASA DAACs (“EOSDIS Version 0”)
- We expect rapid growth in the number of users with the launch of EOS AM-1 (6/98)
- EOSDIS data is widely available and free or inexpensive to obtain
- e.g. NASA may charge users for cost of media and shipping
- Expected user community includes
- Public sector (NASA, NOAA, USDA...)
- Scientific researchers
- Commercial users
- Education community
- International Partners
