Lineage
In 2011 the Australian Government requested that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and Geoscience Australia prepare an infrastructure plan for Earth Observations from Space. The NEOS-IP has been developed in consultation with all areas of the Earth Observations from Space sector including all levels of government, the private sector, researchers and international stakeholders such as space agencies. The consultation material has directly informed the Plan's understanding of the current state of EOS infrastructure, trends in the sector, and requirements for the national EOS infrastructure. On 13 December 2011, Geoscience Australia and the Bureau of Meteorology released a Request for Submission regarding the development of NEOS-IP, to gather stakeholder input to the NEOS-IP. 48 submissions were received (Appendix C), from Australian Government agencies, State and Territory agencies, universities and the research and education sector, the private sector including three from industry bodies, and international bodies including space agencies. On 20 April 2012, the NEOS-IP Discussion Papers were released to consolidate information received through consultation and to facilitate a brief second round of consultation prior to the preparation of the NEOS-IP itself. In addition, a consultative committee was formed to advise on the development of the NEOS-IP. The committee comprised representatives from the Bureau of Meteorology, Geoscience Australia, Defence (DIGO), the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE), the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Attorney-General's Department (AGD), and the Space Policy Unit of the DIISRTE (SPU). Finally, the NEOS-IP was also reviewed by members of the Space Interdepartmental Committee (Space IDC), which includes representatives from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), AGD, the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences, ABARES), Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, DCCEE, Defence, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, DIISRTE (SPU), Department of Infrastructure and Transport, Department of Finance and Deregulation, Geoscience Australia, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C), DSEWPaC, and Treasury.
