Archive Management Task Team

As part of the work of the CEOS Data Sub-Group, the Archive Management Task Team (ATT) is in charge of defining a number of guidelines and recommendations for long-term archive data management, preservation and exchange among Agencies. The first goal and main work presently is the generation of a document defining the archive data processing level in unambiguous terms (baseband data) and the definition of an archive baseband data InterChange Format (ICF).

The Archive Task Team has a liaison with the Panel 2 of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS).
