Abstract:
Eurimage is bridging the gap between AVHRR's 1 km resolution and Landsat TM's 30 metres with data obtained from the RESURS-O1-3 satellite from Russia. Launched in November 1994, this third satellite in the RESURS-O1 series carries the MSU-SK multi-spectral scanner with a resolution of 170 metres, producing data that can be used for:
mapping environmental monitoring of large areas coastal zone monitoring agricultural monitoring measurement of forest fire damage snow cover assessment ice monitoring
In particular, at scales of 1:500,000 to 1:1,000,000, Satellite Image Maps made from RESURS data are the most competitive on the market.
