Abstract:
NASA’s Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) are a set of systems and services designed to deliver global, full-resolution satellite imagery in a highly responsive manner. This system consists of APIs that serve geospatial polar orbiting and geostationary imagery via map tile services to applications such as NASA’s Worldview. The GIBS system is currently hosted on-site at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and has been able to scale on-site to date to serve the needs of end-users. With NASA’s plans to launch higher-resolution earth observing satellites such as the NASA-ISRO SAR Mission (NISAR) and the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellites in the near future; the disk space needed to scale becomes astronomical. In order to deliver such a large volume of data to end-users at the same level of near real time responsiveness; GIBS needs to be able to scale along with the size of the data. This abstract intends to show how NASA is moving GIBS’s ingest and archive systems to the cloud, using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to discover, download, process and serve data to end-users.
