The collection is open for research and application development projects, exclusively for non-commercial, non-operational, and civil Earth observation research purposes. Submission of a Project Proposal is mandatory and subject to evaluation by ESA and the data owner. 

ESA supports as many high-quality and innovative projects as possible within the quota limits. This means only a limited number of products can be allocated to each project. 

Available to Residents of the Following Countries

Note:

  • Whether system corrected or radiometrically corrected products are available depends on sensor and processing centre
  • For PAN and LISS-III ortho corrected: If unavailable, user has to supply ground control information and DEM in suitable quality
  • For WiFS ortho corrected: service based on in house available ground control information and DEM.

The products are available as part of the GAF Imagery products from the Indian missions: IRS-1C, IRS-1D, CartoSat-1 (IRS-P5), ResourceSat-1 (IRS-P6) and ResourceSat-2 (IRS-R2) missions.

IRS-1C/1D Full archive collection has worldwide coverage: data can be requested by contacting GAF user support to check the readiness since no catalogue is not available. All details about the data provision, data access conditions and quota assignment procedure are described in the Terms of Applicability.
