Landsat-TM-Data-Format-Control-Book-DFCB.pdf
This document describes the algorithms, radiometric and geometric processing of the European Space Agency (ESA) Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS), Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) products. It is intended to point towards useful resources for more information rather than provide full descriptions of the specific algorithms used during the processing.

Towards More Efficient Use of Radar-Altimeter Data
Twenty years ago, experimental altimeters on NASA's Skylab and Geos-3 were already demonstrating the potential of such instrumentation. This led in turn to the development and launch by NASA in July 1978 of the Seasat oceanographic satellite mission. Both Geos-3 and Seasat were very successful in their pioneering missions, but were limited somewhat by poor coverage in the case of Geos-3 and an abnormally short mission duration in Seasat's case.

CEOS-Annual-Report-2000-2001-Special-Biennial-Edition.pdf
This publication marks the inaugural edition of the CEOS Annual Report. The CEOS Annual Report will convey the main highlights, activities, and accomplishments of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) during the previous year. Because no report was issued in 2000, this inaugural edition of the CEOS Annual Report is a special biennial version, covering both the years 2000 and 2001.
