Abstract :
An emergency backup processing system for NASA´s EOSDIS was developed to produce, archive and distribute global science products from the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument which will be launched on the EOS AM-1 satellite. This system will produce up to 400GB of MODIS products per day and distribute up to 500GB of data via the Internet and on DLT and Exabyte tapes
