GeoBliki's Blog

Leveraging another Google feat with the newly minted PubSubHubBub protocol or PSHB, interested users can now get real-time notifications when new products from EO-1 are available.  Rather than polling our server at: http://geobpms.geobliki.com/products.atom, consumers can subscribe for that feed at: http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/subscribe.

They can enter their own callback to receive changes as it happens.

This capability is also now built-in Feedburner, Google Alerts and Google Reader.  More on TechCrunch

The same feed is available on FeedBurner: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Eo-1Level2ProductFeed

But why would you subscribe to it there?  unless you are a human!

Feel free to use Google Reader and add that feed to your favorites.

Geobliki is getting ready to take on the Chesapeake bay!

Looking forward to seeing you there :)

 Following the announcement of a Web Coverage Processing Standard by the Open Geospatial Consortium on Mar 25, 2009, NASA is currently looking at implementing the capability on the ground and onboard a satellite.  This would allow end-users to dynamically upload classifiers to the satellite for real-time onboard processing.  This capability exists on EO-1 but the development of classifiers is manual, expensive and time-consuming.

Here is a link to a screencapture describing our current efforts.

Additional information on the WCPS can be found here.  

Many thanks to Peter Baumann, Jacobs University Bremen for his support and hard work developing this specification.

An open source version of the WCPS is available here.

To continue the discussion, you may want to read the article written by staff writers at spacemart.com.

Based on the National Research Council report describing the rationale and goals of the US Civil Space Program.  The full report can be found here.

Thanks.

Poll originated from a question:  Could NASA conceive a mission that is not rooted in Basic Research Science?  But let’s say Environmental Intelligence, Disaster, Agricultural, Coastal, Energy, Water Management, Ecological forecasting, invasive Species, Public Health…

Thanks for your input.
