    This publication shows how with time the various uses of ERS data are developing and consolidating in key areas of science and economic exploitation.

  • 3rd ERS Symposium

    The ESA Directorate for Observation of the Earth and its Environment held the 3rd ERS Symposium, in 1997, where many of the results from the ERS-1 and ERS-2 missions were presented and discussed by the scientific community.

  • IRS-R2 (ResourceSat-2)

    IRS-R2 (ResourceSat-2) continues the remote sensing data services to global users provided by the ResourceSat-1 mission and also provides data with enhanced multispectral/ spatial coverage.

  • 2004 Envisat and ERS Symposium

    The 2004 Envisat and ERS Symposium was held in Salzburg - Austria from 6 to 10 September 2004. The 2004 Envisat and ERS Symposium provided a forum for investigators to present results of ongoing research project activities and assess the development of applications and services.

  • SCIRoCCo

    The SCIRoCCo project is an interdisciplinary cooperation of scatterometry experts aimed at promoting the continuing exploitation of ESA's unique 20 years' worth of ERS Scatterometer data.

  • ERS

    The ERS programme was composed of two missions, ERS-1 and ERS-2, which together observed the Earth for 20 years, from 1991 to 2011.

  • ResourceSat-2 full archive and tasking

    ResourceSat-2 (also known as IRS-R2) archive and tasking products are available as below: Sensor Type Resolution (m) Coverage (km x km) System or radiometrically corrected Ortho corrected (DN) Ortho corrected (TOA reflectance) Neustralitz archive Global archive LISS-IV Mono-Chromatic 5 70 x 70 X X 2014 – 2011 - LISS-III Multi-spectral 20 140 x 140 X X X AWiFS Multi-spectral 60 370 x 370 X X X 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-2 archive and tasking' 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.
