What’s next? 1 Make publishing and using spatial data in the cloud simple We are developing features in the Planetary Computer that will make it easy to push data to the cloud and open access to some or all users. 2 Solve data access challenges for science and operational applications Enabling efficient geospatial workflows on Azure will unlock the power of the massive amount of data the world is collecting about our Earth to monitor, model, and manage Earth’s natural systems. The Planetary Computer will solve the core data access problems for planetary scale problems, ranging from scientific research to enterprise-grade applications, so that developers building applications on top of it can focus on what makes their solutions unique. 3 Expand the catalog of datasets hosted in the Planetary Computer We are continuously identifying and onboarding high-value, openly licensed datasets for broad usage in the Planetary Computer. We are improving our pipelines to reduce the latency between data becoming available and being findable and usable in users’ existing workflows. 4 Support the growing ecosystem of applications powered by the Planetary Computer We will continue to grow our network of partners developing impactful environmental sustainability applications using the data and services of the Planetary Computer. This includes investing in partners that use technologies like AI to push the boundaries of what is possible and empower their users with the tools they need to make decisions to protect the ecosystems of our planet. 5 Continue to invest and grow the open-source ecosystem of tools working with Earth science data Microsoft will continue to support the open- source ecosystem of tools that we use to deploy our services and that our users rely on to process, analyze, and operationalize the data of the Planetary Computer. We will target new domains like climate forecast and biodiversity observation data. 88
