CREODIAS

Satellite data

Earth observation data stored on the CREODIAS platform is open, public, and free. The repository has over 21 petabytes of data and grows by over 20 terabytes a day.

The collection of satellite data in the CREODIAS environment includes most of the available products from the Sentinel family: Sentinel-1A & Sentinel-1B, Sentinel-2A & Sentinel-2B, Sentinel-3A & Sentinel-3B, Sentinel-5P. Additionally, the historical archives of LANDSAT 5, 7, and 8, ENVISAT, and SMOS are available. There are also collections of specialized Copernicus services - Atmosphere, Marine, Land Areas, Climate Change, Security, and Crisis Management.

The free Copernicus data is complemented by commercial very high resolution (VHR) imagery, which is suitable for projects that require very high accuracy. These are multispectral, night and radar images, and come from different VHR providers.

Rich access interfaces

Users can access the satellite data repository in several ways, including the S3 object interface, NFS file interface, zipped download, WMS / WMTS, and using the REST API or POSIX access technology. Check data access details.

CREODIAS users can process data directly from the repository, without the need for time-consuming downloading to their own environment. Access to data is fast and efficient - our tests have shown the ability to download up to 2 PB of data per day.

Cloud computing

CREODIAS offers cloud computing services for satellite data processing: compute, storage, backup, data-related services, virtual networks, security, and others. The cloud infrastructure operating for the CREODIAS uses the OpenStack software, whose architecture consists of many interacting modules responsible for controlling processor resources, memory, and network infrastructure.

Users can manage their resources through the Horizon portal with graphical support or through the REST web interface. Infrastructure and services have been optimized for processing and working with satellite data. Optimization also regards the operation of external applications.
