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). CCMEO is the Government of Canada’s Centre of Expertise for remote sensing and geodesy. Through partnerships with government stakeholders, 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 Canadians.

Since 1971, CCMEO has accumulated an archive in excess of 1 PB of Earth Observation (EO) data.  This data originated from various satellites and airborne sensors. The 2012 Canadian Federal Budget included NRCan’s revitalization plan which sought to maintain and improve Canada’s EO satellite capacity and access to this data.  This plan was realised through the purchase and installation of four (4) new antennas as well as EODMS which decommissioned several legacy systems.

Behind EODMS sits CCMEO’s Multi-Mission Archive (MMA) which is the authoritative repository of Raw Canadian Earth Observation data in Canada. CCMEO has approximately 1PB of Earth Observation Data of which the main holdings are RADARSAT-1, RADARSAT-2, and NMSO commercial satellite imagery. In addition, the CCMEO archive will hold all RCM data received in Canada (all data received at CCMEO as well as DND’s Polar Epsilon stations). The current capacity of the archive is currently 3 PB and will grow by 1 PB each year. The data stored robustly using redundant storage and stored securely to comply with RSSSA laws on access controls and dissemination.
