The BIBLOS project is designed to guide and help you with the development of an End-to-End Performance Simulator (E2ES) for Earth Observation missions.
An E2ES is a tool used by the Scientists and Engineering teams to simulate the acquisition and generation of the satellite products. There are an increasing number of missions that develop performance simulators in early stages (phase A, B1) to assess requirements, evaluate the instrument characteristics, the products, etc. These simulators often evolve into the operational simulators. The development of a simulators is costly. There needs to be a detailed definition of the architecture for each mission, implementation and a lengthy validation process. To try to reduce the cost, and avoid re-engineering, the BIBLOS project has a step-by-step approach that:
- Helps you define an architecture taking into account your mission particularities
- Provides validated software units that are ready to be used
All BIBLOS projects are based on ESA’s ARCHEO-E2E project led by GMV where a review of different EO mission E2ES (e.g. BIOMASS, FLEX, EarthCARE) and mission characteristics, led to the definition of six generic high-level modules.
