Abstract :
A concept called the Information-Sciences Experiment System (ISES) is proposed which makes use of the earth observing system (EOS) to evaluate the role of onboard information extraction in space flight systems. Onboard information extraction is a possible part of the solution to the growing data glut problem associated with earth-viewing remote sensors. The ISES concept offers additional opportunities in better utilization of onboard instrumentation, real-time response to events, and a way to evaluate technology in space without jeopardizing mission safety. Finally, the applicability of the ISES concept to the core station is discussed, including important differences between a possible EOS version and core station version of the ISES concept
