2 ASTER info Acronym: Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Country: USA and Japan Year Deployed: 1999 Temporal Resolution: On demand Data Availability: Request data from ASTER team or through ordering from EOS Data Gateway ( swww.cr.usgs.gov/pub/imswelcome/) Brief Description: ASTER is an imaging instrument that is flying on Terra, a satellite launched in December 1999 as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). ASTER will be used to obtain detailed maps of land surface temperature, emissivity, reflectance and elevation. The EOS platforms are part of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, whose goal is to obtain a better understanding of the interactions between the biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere. ASTER is the only high spatial resolution instrument on the Terra platform. It will be used with MODIS, MOPITT, MISR and CERES which monitor the Earth at moderate to coarse spatial resolutions. ASTER's ability to serve as a 'zoom' lens for the other instruments will be particularly important for change detection, calibration/validation and land surface studies. The ASTER instrument was built in Japan for the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. A Joint US/Japan Science Team is responsible for instrument design, calibration, and validation.

The satellite altitude is about km. The point on the earth's surface which lies directly beneath the satellite is on the equator 140 east. GMS always views the same portion of the globe (42% of the earth's surface). GMS is equipped with a VISSR (Visible and Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer). The radiometer scans the earth's surface line by line; each line consists of a series of individual image elements or pixels. For each pixel the radiometer measures the radiative energy of the different spectral bands. This measurement is digitally coded and transmitted to the ground station for pre-processing before being disseminated to the user community. (from GMS coverage:

Year Deployed: Sept. 24, 1999 Temporal Resolution: On Demand Data Availability: Order through Space Imaging ( Brief Description: IKONOS is the first commercial imaging satellite of its kind. It simultaneously collects one-meter resolution black-and-white (panchromatic) images and four-meter resolution color (multispectral) images. Designed to take digital images of the Earth from 400 miles (680 kilometers) up and moving at a speed of about four-and-a-half miles (seven kilometers) per second, the satellite camera can distinguish objects on the Earth's surface as small as one meter square, or about three feet, in size. Although more capable than any other commercial system, the camera cannot see individual people. The imagery products collected by IKONOS will be sold and marketed by Space Imaging under the company's CARTERRA brand name. CARTERRA products will benefit a range of markets including agriculture, mapping, state and local governments, oil and gas, utilities, emergency response, natural resources, telecommunications, tourism, national security, insurance, news gathering and others.

See the Radarsat homepage for all other distributors. Brief Description: RADARSAT is an advanced Earth observation satellite system developed by Canada to monitor environmental change and to support resource sustainability. With the launch of RADARSAT-1 in November 1995, Canada and the world have access to the first fully operational civilian radar satellite system capable of large scale production and timely delivery of data. The data from the satellite meets the needs of commercial, government and scientific programs and provides a new and reliable source of high quality radar data. All Canadian provinces participated in planning the RADARSAT program. Approximately 100 Canadian and international organizations were involved in the design and construction of the space and ground segments. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched RADARSAT in exchange for the right of access to the satellite on a pro rata basis. (from Radarsat homepage) Radarsat-2 is slated to launch in October, 2002.
