Remote Sensing Research and Development
Remote Sensing Research and Development
EROS has been an integral part of Earth observation science since the launch of the first Landsat satellite in 1972 and is renowned for its experience and proficiency in remote sensing technology. We have been providing technical expertise and services to the USGS and its partners across government, industry, and academia for decades.

USGS EROS Archive - Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) - Orbital Pass Generation and Stitching
Orbital Pass Generation Nearly 45,000 individual observations were acquired during the first 30 months of this project. The number of individual scenes and overall data volume, an estimated 4.0 terabytes, are large by contemporary standards. As a result a new process was developed to improve data management.
USGS EROS Archive - Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) - Sensor Characteristics
The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) was a broad-band, four or five channel (depending on the model) scanner, sensing in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This sensor is carried on NOAA's Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), beginning with TIROS-N in 1978.
