THEOS (Thailand Earth Observation System)
THEOS is an Earth observation mission of Thailand, under development at EADS Astrium SAS, Toulouse, France. In July 2004, EADS Astrium SAS signed a contract for delivery of THEOS with GISTDA (Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency) of Bangkok, Thailand. GISTDA is Thailand's leading national organization (i.e., space agency) in the field of space activities and applications. The Thai Ministry of Science and Technology is funding the program.
The THEOS cooperative agreement includes the production and launch of one optical imaging satellite, as well as the development of the ground segment necessary to operate and control the satellite directly from Thailand. The contract also specifies on-the-job training of Thai engineers as part of the EADS Astrium development team. Also as part of the THEOS program, GISTDA earned the right to receive data from the SPOT-2, 4 and 5 spacecraft of CNES in Thailand, which have many features similar to those of THEOS. The prime objective of THEOS is to provide Thailand with an affordable access to space (i.e., a state-of-the-art Earth observation satellite for the near future), and to spawn through this program's operational experience the country's own capability and infrastructure an indigenous potential for the development of future space missions.
The science objectives call for the provision of:
1) Panchromatic (2 m) and multispectral (15 m) imagery from THEOS observations, and
2) The generation of geo-referenced image products and image processing capabilities for applications in the fields of cartography, land use, agricultural monitoring, forestry management, coastal zone monitoring and flood risk management.
The Thai government has also expressed its intention to offer THEOS data to the disaster mitigation efforts under the International Charter.

OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Tony Walsh (ESA) & Hristo Indzhov (Telespazio Vega)
Abstract: The European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) is the main operations center for the European Space Agency (ESA), operating a number of earth observation and scientific missions. Monitoring and control functions needed by spacecraft operators are provided by software systems which are reused across missions, but tailored and extended for mission specific needs. The current generation of monitoring and control systems are becoming obsolete and a European wide initiative called the European Ground Systems Common Core (EGS-CC) (http://www.egscc.esa.int) has been started to develop the next generation.
This talk will explain why OSGi was chosen and how it is used in the development of next generation of monitoring and control software. It will describe how OSGi provides the necessary framework that enables the software to be extended for the different space systems it is expected to support. The overall software architecture will be discussed, some of the challenges faced and the benefits gained by using OSGi. The first target mission for the system is JUICE (http://sci.esa.int/juice) which will explore the moons of Jupiter and which is scheduled for launch in 2022.

http://www.bluebridge-vres.eu/events/join-bluebridge-10th-biennial-sea-tech-week-brest-france
Greetings all,
By the end of April 2008, the final meeting of the MERSEA European Project set up in Paris, in the Institut Océanographique.
The aim of the project was to develop a European system for operational monitoring and forecasting on global and regional scales
of the ocean physics, biogeochemistry and ecosystems.
It was surely a challenge to get together many different partners to build the future European operational oceanography of
tomorrow. It was also a challenge for the MERSEA teams to demonstrate their capacity to collect, validate and assimilate remote
sensed and in situ data into ocean circulation models, to interpolate in time and space for uniform coverage, to run nowcasting
(i.e. data synthesis in real-time), forecasting, and hind-casting, and to deliver information products. The project also had to
develop marine applications addressing the needs of both intermediate and end-users, whether institutional or from the private
sector
This Newsletter collects some of the many results obtained during this project. Several aspects are tackled: global and regional
forecasting systems, observations, and applications.
The News is written by the Coordinator of the Project, Yves Desaubies. He draws MERSEA results up.
In a first article, Marie Drévillon et al. present the MERSEA/Mercator-Ocean V2 global ocean analysis and forecasting system. In a
second one, Hervé Roquet et al. describe L3 and L4 high resolution SST products. The next article, written by Bruce Hackett et
al., focuses on Oil spill applications. The article of John Siddorn et al. closes the issue by a description of the development of a
North-East Atlantic tidal NEMO system.

Better Hackathon 2020 ETHZ - Comparing Static And Dynamic Effects Of EarthquakesPRBETTER
As part of the final BETTER Hackathon, project partners prepared 4 hackathon exercises. ETHZ organised this exercise as the challenge promoter for the Geohazards thematic area. This open exercise featured the use of Binder and purposely provided cloud resources but could also be run locally through a Docker image and Docker Compose. The focus of this half-day exercise was to find a convenient way of exploitation of Co-seismic interferograms, by using developed BETTER pipelines. The idea was to produce geocoded maps combining automatically the important results to have a convenient visualisation that helps interpreting results.Participants were expected to be familiar with the Jupyter environment (Python 3) and the most common EO libraries (e.g. GDAL). The recorded part includes the introduction of the exercise in the context of the BETTER project.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
