The user interface of the EnMAP satellite mission

The Ground Segment for the future hyperspectral satellite mission EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) will be designed, implemented and operated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The Applied Remote Sensing Cluster (DFD) at DLR is responsible for the establishment of a user interface. This paper provides first issues on design and functionality of the user interface. The user interface consists of two online portals. The EnMAP portal is the central entry point for all users interested to learn about the EnMAP mission, its objectives, status, and results. The EnMAP Data Access Portal (EDAP) provides a set of functions for registered users that will support the international EnMAP user community. The operational services offered through the EnMAP portal will be complemented by a service team, EnMAP Application Support, offering expert advice on the exploitation of EnMAP data.
