Data - Project Proposal (Restrained)

ResourceSat-1/IRS-P6 full archive

ResourceSat-1 (also known as IRS-P6) archive products are available as below: Sensor Type Resolution (m) Coverage (km x km) System or radiometrically corrected Ortho corrected (DN) Neustralitz archive Global archive LISS-IV Mono-Chromatic 5 70 x 70 X X 2004 – 2010 2003 - 2013 LISS-III Multi-spectral 20 140 x 140 X X 2004 – 2013 2003 - 2013 AWiFS Multi-spectral 60 370 x 370 X X 2004 – 2013 2003 - 2013 Note: LISS-IV: Mono-Chromatic, the band is selectable. In practice the red is used. For LISS-IV MN and LISS-III ortho corrected: If unavailable, user has to supply ground control information and DEM in suitable quality. For AWiFS 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. 'ResourceSat-1 archive' collection has worldwide coverage: for data acquired over Neustrelitz footprint, the users can browse the EOWEB GeoPortal catalogue to search archived products; worldwide data (out the Neustrelitz footprint) 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.
