As Part Of The Copernicus Programme, The Copernicus Expansion (copex) Missions Are Designed To Enhance And Expand The Capabilities Of The Sentinels First Generation Missions To Address Eu Policy And Gaps In Copernicus User Needs.in This Context, Esa Intends To Initiate The Development Of The Operational Instrument Data Processors (copex-dp), Allowing To Generate The Specific Level-0 And Level-1 Data For Each Copernicus Expansion Mission, To Be Integrated And Operated As Part Of The Copernicus Missions, Data And Operations Management Framework (eof-csc).the Copex-dp Development Will Adhere To The Principles Of The Esa Copernicus Earth Observation Processor Framework (eopf) And To The Principles Of Harmonisation, Open Source And Flexibility, As Well As Native Compatibility With Cloud-based Environments. More Specifically, The Copex-dp Development Will Target The Processing Scalability And Adaptability As Well To Future Technological Advancements (e.g., Gpu, Hpc, Etc) To Face The Performance Challenges Introduced By The Copex Missions In Terms Of Data Volumes And Processing Complexity.in This Context, The European Space Agency (esa) Announces The Intended Itt For The Development Of A Generic Channel Access Data Unit (cadu) Processor For The Copernicus Expansion Missions, Including The Validationwith Simulated And Real Satellite Data And Potential Evolutions During The Space Segment Development Phases. The Output Of The Caduprocessor Will Serve As Input To The Operational Level-0 Processors For Each Copex Mission. The Activity Is Intended To Cover The Processors Development Activities As Well As An Optional Maintenance And Evolution Phase Possibly Covering Up To The End Of The Satellite Commissioning Phase For Each Copex Mission.this Itt Is Part Of A Comprehensive Procurement Strategy Involving Six Open Competitive Tenders For The Copex-dp Development, Including:-a Generic Cadu Processor Development (scope Of This Itt)-a Separated Itt For The Specialised Level-0 And Level-1 Operational Processors Development For Each Of The Following Missions: Cristal, Lstm, Rose-l,cimr, Chime. These Itts Are Planned To Be Issued Gradually Between 2024 (cristal) And 2026. Intended Itts Will Be Published Accordingly In Due Time
