Abstract:
Eurimage distributes, in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, Landsat data received at the following European Space Agency (ESA) ground receiving stations:
Fucino has been acquiring MSS and TM data since 1975 and 1984, respectively. Kiruna started in 1978 and 1984, respectively, but stopped acquiring in December 1993. Maspalomas commenced acquiring MSS data in 1984 and TM data in 1987, but acquisition stopped at the end of 1990. Maspalomas acquisition restarted at the end of March 1994, and since then has established a pattern of about 4 months acquisition during the late spring and summer each year. Production of Maspalomas data is currently carried out at Fucino. These stations provide coverage of Western and Eastern Europe, North and West Africa and northern parts of the Middle East.
Eurimage also supplies Landsat data coverage of other parts of the world, through its access to the EOSAT archive, which has coverage of large areas of the world dating back to 1972; or by supplying data through EOSAT from international ground stations.
Eurimage provides on-line access to data from Landsat through EiNet on the WWW. EiNet is a subscription service which allows users to browse quick look images and meta data from serveral Earth Observation satellites. Einet is accessed via the WWW at: http://www.eurimage.com/products/landsat.html
