== History ==

== History ==

With the second largest landmass on earth and the longest coastline in the world, Canada relies on satellite technology to monitor its land and borders. Providing access to this technology is a core mandate of NRCan's Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO). Through partnerships across government, strong links to academia and the private sector, including international collaborations, CCMEO ensures that satellite data is available to serve the needs of the Canadian Government and all Canadians. Since 1971, CCMEO has accumulated an EO data archive in excess of 2 PB. This data originated from many satellites and airborne sensors. The 2012 Canadian Federal Budget included NRCan’s revitalization plan which sought to improve Canada’s EO satellite capacity and access to this data. This plan was realised through the purchase and installation of four (4) new satellite antennas as well as the brand new Earth Observation Data Management System which replaced several legacy systems.
