Format Guidelines Task (FGT)

The Format Guidelines Task (FGT) is concerned with digital data formats for Agency data products. The FGT has generated and maintains a Format Guidelines document which descibes the main features of data formats currently used, or proposed for use, for EO data products. The FGT also reviews activities of CEOS members in data formatting and is collaborating with other standardisation organisations such as the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS).

The format Guidelines document is currently available in draft form during the agency review period
