Earth is under a constant barrage of information from space. Whether from satellites orbiting our planet, spacecraft circling Mars, or probes streaking toward the far reaches of the Solar System, NASA collects massive amounts of data from its spacefaring missions each day. NASA s Earth Observing System (EOS) satellites, for example, provide daily imagery and measurements of Earth s atmosphere, oceans, vegetation, and more. The Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) collects all of that science data and processes, archives, and distributes it to researchers around the globe; EOSDIS recently reached a total archive volume of 4.5 petabytes. Try to store that amount of information in your standard, four-drawer file cabinet, and you would need 90 million to get the job done. To manage the flood of information, NASA has explored technologies to efficiently collect, archive, and provide access to EOS data for scientists today and for years to come. One such technology is now providing similar capabilities to businesses and organizations worldwide.
