ESA_Labs Annual Event "Space Data Management Workshop"
May 8-9, 2023 - venue: Youtube, Zoom and Ca’ Dolfin (Venice)

Proceedings

There are a large number of highly important applications that currently rely upon data from satellites and space missions, ranging from weather prediction to monitoring of environmental pollution, climate change, marine traffic, agriculture and urban planning, etc. The quality and quantity of space data poses new and specific challenges to the scientific community, covering the entire life-cycle of space data management and with a need for an interdisciplinary approach. The aim of this workshop is to strengthen the collaboration among the ESA_Lab partners by sharing their latest results that impact these issues, and by collecting the problems that emerge from ESA activities that can stimulate new research.

This is a non-exhaustive list of topics of interest:

  • space data formats
  • space data authentication
  • space data integrity
  • legal and ethical issues related to space data management
  • data related cybersecurity threats
  • data-oriented interoperability
  • algorithms for data cleaning and compression
  • low-power data transmission protocols
  • selective data acquisition and archiving strategies
  • applications
