2026 CSPP Users’ Group Meeting
The Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) Users’ Group Meeting will bring together the community of CSPP users to discuss topics relevant to reception, processing, and applications of data acquired by direct broadcast and rebroadcast from polar-orbiting and geostationary earth observing satellites. The CSPP LEO and GEO community includes more than 4,500 registered users from around the world representing more than 100 countries and all 7 continents. We welcome your participation in the meeting in Darmstadt, to be hosted by EUMETSAT.
