The proposed article is devoted to the description of the operating experience and the development of the IKI-Monitoring center (http://ckp.geosmis.ru/) for the collective use of systems for archiving, processing and analyzing satellite data. The relevance of the task of providing access to ultra-large distributed archives of satellite data on the basis of a fundamentally new approach, providing users with the opportunity for interactive analysis and processing of data based on the use of high-performance computing resources of satellite data centers is considered. On the basis of this approach, in 2012, the IKI-Monitoring center for collective use was established. To date, more than 70 different organizations have benefited from the resources provided by the center. The capabilities of the center were used in the implementation of several dozen scientific projects, including projects, supported by the Russian Science Foundation, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. This paper provides the review of the current capabilities of IKI-Monitoring and the accumulated experience in its development and use. Special attention is paid to the description of new technologies for working with satellite data, the development of which was largely stimulated by scientific and applied projects carried out using the center’s capabilities. In conclusion, the perspective directions of the center’s development are briefly presented.
Keywords: remote sensing, satellite data, information system, system of collective usage, big data, satellite data archives, satellite data processing
