The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Visualization Environment (COVE) is a suite of tools for analyzing satellite sensor coverage for more than 100 Earth-observing satellites developed by the NASA CEOS Systems Engineering Office (SEO). The suite of tools include:

• Acquisition Forecaster: A tool that provides users with the ability to predict when a satellite has the ability to image a region of interest, and it includes options to show the nadir track or filter scenes by orbit direction in user controls.
• Coverage Analyzer: A tool that provides users with the ability to analyze the historical satellite coverage of a region of interest.
• Revisits Calculator: A tool which allows users to analyze estimated satellite coverage and revisits for a region of interest.
• Coincident Calculator: A tool which allows users to determine the coincidence of satellite instrument modes and/or custom constellations observing a location in the same day within a region of interest using historical or predicted scene data.
• Data Browser: A tool that allows users to view the satellite image archives from multiple CEOS missions.
• Data Policy: A database that provides users with information about the data policy and primary archive location for CEOS satellite instruments.
• Country Coverage: A tool that allows users to generate and view GFOI Country Coverage reports for over 70 countries and 3 constellations.
• Utilities: A set of quick calculation utilities to provide users with a means of estimating various parameters of interest about CEOS satellite missions.

Other COVE features included in this document are:

• Constellations: A feature in Coincident Calculator which allows users to create groups of missions/instruments or custom missions/instruments.
• Custom Missions: A feature in Acquisition Forecaster, Coincident Calculator, and Revisits Calculator which allows users to create notional or proposed missions.
• Regions: A feature in Acquisition Forecaster, Coincident Calculator, Coverage Analyzer, Revisits Calculator, and Data Browser which allows users to create additional regions of interest.
• Basic Map Functionality: A guide to navigating maps in Acquisition Forecaster, Coincident Calculator, Coverage Analyzer, Revisits Calculator, Data Browser, and Case Studies.
• Globe Imagery: A guide to changing the globe imagery.
• Multiselect Menus: A guide to explain the functionality of using the collapsible multiselect menus used for missions, custom missions, and regions list.
• User Accounts: A feature which allows users to maintain a task history and load successfully completed tasks in Acquisition Forecaster, Coincident Calculator, Coverage Analyzer, Revisits Calculator, and Data Browsers tools.
• Feedback: A feature which allows users to reach out to the COVE development team for questions, issues, or satellite mission requests.
