Specialized in forestry, agriculture and geology, produces thematic geological and agricultural maps by using Landsat and SPOT images.

Landsat and SPOT images and aerial photography are used.

Preparation of a map of Damascus and surroundings from satellite images.

And you can think of this as our satellite view for our map.

Land use mapping has been performed on a scale of 1 100,000 using aerial photography and satellite data, mainly provided by the Indian remote sensing satellite (IRS), the United States Landsat Thematic Mapper and the French Satellite pour l apos observation de la Terre (SPOT) (Earth observation satellite).

The United States also used images acquired from the United States civil Landsat and the French SPOT remote sensing satellites for updating the maps of the conflict region.17

This geostationary satellite is able to capture visible light images of clouds, 24 hour infrared images of clouds and pictures of vapour distribution, in addition to being capable of broadcasting climate pictures.

Witness the fact that it's here on this Garmin device being used by rescue team in Haiti.

Participants were provided with an overview of northern Algerian seismicity, including the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite imagery from Landsat, SPOT 5, Envisat, QuickBird and Ikonos for updating seismological maps.

In order to access other Earth observation satellites, the CRTS, which is responsible for distributing satellite images throughout the Kingdom, has concluded contracts with international image distributors SPOT IMAGE in France for Spot data, EURIMAGE in Italy for NOAA, LANDSAT, ERS data etc.

UNOSAT support includes methodological guidance, satellite imagery selection and procurement, image processing, editing of maps and geographical information systems (GIS) services, training and research.

The work continues to be based on the interpretation of satellite images, mainly Land Remote Sensing Satellite (LANDSAT) thematic mapper data, to map the present status of land cover and features.

19. The Institute has also been developing a satellite atlas of the Middle East.

The Directorate of Climatology of Lebanon has an Earth station to gather analogue images (Wefax format) from climate related satellites (geostationary satellites).

ISL could be used for direct quot repeaterless quot communication between intercluster satellites co located satellites interregional satellites (GEO to GEO) and LEO and GEO satellites.

Space Imaging EOSAT had integrated the world s largest constellation of satellites and aerial mapping sources, including the Landsat satellites, the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites, the Canadian RADARSAT satellite, the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS 1) and the ESA ERS 1 and ERS 2 satellites.

The UNOSAT web portal also acts as a map repository for a wide range of maps produced for the region affected by the tsunami, including external maps (that is, maps not produced by UNOSAT), when appropriate.

Until recently, the highest resolution satellite images commercially available have been 10 m resolution SPOT images.

36. The Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) is a Japanese high resolution Earth observation satellite that is to be used for cartography and for environmental and hazard monitoring applications.

(iv) Receiving LANDSAT satellite data

Recalling the continuous development of satellite systems for obtaining global data by optical and radar sensors to a level of importance to national mapping requirements, starting from Landsat in 1972 to QuickBird in 2000 and from Seasat 1978 to the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission in 2000,

Satellite imagery of the most significant sites continues to be collected and assessed.

(g) Mapping of land use in Eastern Africa established from satellite data.

Land Remote Sensing Satellite data were used to create detailed land cover maps.

Requests for satellite imagery and associated products could be made to a number of vendors, including Satellitbild.

The Directorate of Climatology of Lebanon has an earth station to gather analog images (Wefax format) from the climate based satellites (geostationary satellites).

A subsidiary to the Swedish Space Corporation, the SSC Satellitbild, is situated in Kiruna Its main tasks are to process, analyse and distribute images from the SPOT and Landsat satellites on a commercial basis.

For 10 years, SPOT image has been distributing pictures from SPOT satellites to the world and, to date, 4,500,000 pictures have been captured and archived, forming a true memory of our planet.

The station is now capable of receiving data from LANDSAT TM, SPOT, MOS, JERS, ERS and IRS satellites and will be upgraded for Radarsat and ADEOS data in the near future.

UNOPS is in discussions with the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and its cartographic section for the supply of SPOT data to the United Nations system contract for satellite imagery.

27. There is as yet limited experience on the use of satellite radar images in tropical regions.

Habitat modelling based on satellite maps is now being implemented for selected species.

Multispectral data, such as those acquired by the IRS, Landsat, Meteosat and SPOT series of satellites, were collected in multiple spectral bands.

SPOT Image, which has been commercially operating SPOT satellites for more than 10 years, has become a world leader on the market for geographical information stemming from satellite imaging.

Amateur satellites of the UOSAT series are capable of transmitting images of the surface of Earth, as well as meteorological data.

The SPOT system already has three satellites in orbit, SPOT 1, 2 and 3.

SSC Satellitbild specializes in providing geometrically precision corrected and analysed data from SPOT and other satellites (such as JERS 1 and Landsat) for the world market.
