September 2018: All three initial Product Family Specifications (PFS) (surface reflectance, surface temperature, radar backscatter) have been completed and are now at the trial assessment stage. Up to five additional SAR PFS are currently under development: polarimetric covariance, polarimetric decomposition, interferometric line-of-sight, interferometric coherence, and geocoded SLC; however, these might be consolidated down to just three PFS.
FDA-07 is now considered complete.
Early 2018: Continue with good progress on the CARD4L PFS. Three teleconferences have been organized in December 2017, which generated a lot of interest from several expert users. Feedback and suggestions from these teleconferences will be incorporated into the three PFS documents and presented at the LSI-VC meeting in Tokyo (Feb 2018). It is expected that the documents will be revised/updated on a yearly cycle (next revision in Sep 2018).
