JERS-1 SAR Level 1 Precision Image
Jan-1998



JERS-1 was a radar/optical mission led by NASDA (now JAXA). The overall objectives were the generation of global data sets with SAR and OPS sensors aimed at surveying resources, establishing an integrated EO system, and verifying instrument/system performances. The collection is composed of the data acquired by Fucino and Kiruna ESA ground stations, and data is made accesible via the TPM scheme. Read more
