ResourceSat-1 Full Archive
Jan-2013 | ResourceSat-1, also known as IRS-P6, was an EO mission in the Indian
Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS) series of Indian Space Research Organisation
(ISRO). ResourceSat-1 was the continuation of the IRS-1C/1D missions with
considerably enhanced capabilities. The overall objective of the mission was
to provide continued remote-sensing data services on an operational basis for
integrated land and water resources management. ESA offers access to worldwide ResourceSat-1 archived data via the TPM scheme. - Read more |
IMAGE2006 European Coverage
Jan-2006 | Two cloud-free coverages of Europe are available, resampled to 20 m spatial
resolution in national projection and 25 m in European projection for orthorectified
data. Data have been sourced from SPOT-4 HRVIR (20 m original spatial
resolution), SPOT-5 HRG (10 m original spatial resolution) and Resourcesat-1
(IRS-P6) LISS III (with 23 m original spatial resolution), each with four spectral
bands. The swath width is about 60 km for the SPOT satellites and 140 km for
the IRS-P6 satellite. Access is provided through the ESA TPM scheme. - Read more |
