In April 2019 ESA awarded the Euro Data Cube (EDC) contract to a consortium of partners led by Sinergise. Rather than funding the development of a completely new service, the project was based on the integration of existing operational capabilities run by the project team, up to the creation of an EO Information Factory. Such …
