Imagery and Remote Sensing: Reference Resources
Directories & Guides
- ASPRS Guide
to Land Imaging Satellites (American Society for
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) Includes all civil land imaging satellites
with resolutions equal to or better than 36 meters in orbit or currently planned
to be in orbit by 2010.
- Annotated
Guide to Earth Remote Sensing Data and Information Resources for Social Science
Applications (Chen) Presents a selected set of print and Internet information
resources for those interested in exploring and using Earth remote sensing
data in interdisciplinary research, applications, and education.
- EarthExplorer
(US Geological Survey) Identify geospatial products available from the US
Geological Survey including aerial photography, satellite imagery, digital
orthophoto quads, digital line graphs, digital elevation models, digital raster
graphics, and other map products. Determine spatial coverage by defining coverage
on a map, entering geographic coordinates, or entering a place name.
- Remote Sensing Resources
(Remote Sensing Geographic Informations Facility. Center for Biodiverstiy
and Conservation and the American Museum of Natural History) Guide to the
practical aspects of locating, accessing, visualizing, and processing remotely
sensed data, with lots of links to Internet resources.
- UCS
Satellite Database (Union of Concerned Scientists)
Database that contains information on approximately 800 military and commerical
satellites. Updated quarterly and available as a downloadable Excel spreadsheet.
For each satellite includes name of satellite, country of owner/operator,
purpose, type of orbit, launch mass, date of launch, expected lifetime, contractor,
and comments
Bibliographies
