This presentation describes a technique and the resulting improvements in quality and latency related to the collection, processing, and distribution of environmental observation data that is collected globally, from space-based sensors. The technique employs a newly developed transceiver which allows a spacecraft in low-earth orbit to communicate with the ground in real-time, globally, via the existing constellation of Inmarsat commercial communication satellites. The ability to communicate with the space-based platform and its sensors at all times, with data latencies measured in milliseconds rather than tens of minutes opens up new opportunities for the collection and application of data captured by sensors in space, as well as the ability for closed-loop tasking of the space based instruments or uploading large data sets to the instruments. The authors describe the technology involved, followed by the description of how this technology is being applied for the real-time collection of space weather observations. The process of collection, data transfer, processing, and distribution is described, highlighting the areas where this new technology improves value of the collected data with the reduced latency. Finally, the paper provides a glance at other applications and data products where this technology and approach could be employed to improve data value and to develop new applications of data collected on space-based platforms.
