It is very important to provide Earth observation satellite data and the related information for users timely. However, it takes a long time to disseminate Earth observation data to users because a volume of earth observation data is huge and Internet bandwidth is not enough to carry it.
Recently, APAN (Asia Pacific Advanced Network) and the other high end research and education network such as NREN (NASA Research and Education Network), NSF/VBNS, etc. are established and have been operated. NASDA and NASA implemented some pilot projects to study a feasibility of utilization of such high end network to exchange data and information in cooperation with AIT (Asian Institute of Technology) and APAN. In March 22, 1999, STA/NASDA and NOAA/NASA organized GOIN99 (Global Observation Information Network) workshop in University Hawaii. In this GOIN99 workshop, NASA and NASDA demonstrated some pilot projects including team collaboration and data exchange successfully.
