EDRS – SpaceDataHighway
The European Data Relay System will provide encrypted data transmission in broadband quality in near-real time. This makes it ideal for relaying time-critical and sensitive information. Emergency response teams and security services can use EDRS to gain much faster access to Earth observation satellite data – even when in the field, when time is of the essence.
Applications will be: Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), maritime surveillance, environment monitoring and agriculture, natural disaster and emergency response and weather
forecasting.
