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
Background The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is 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.
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - Advanced Solid-state Array Spectroradiometer (ASAS)
The Advanced Solid-state Array Spectroradiometer (ASAS) data collection contains data collected by the ASAS sensor flown aboard NASA aircraft.

MASTER - MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - Space Acquired Photography
Photos taken from the International Space Station (ISS), Shuttle, Skylab, Gemini, and Apollo missions. (1965 - present)
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - Side-Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) Mosaics
The Side-Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) is an image-producing system that derives its name from the fact that the radar beam is transmitted from the side of the aircraft during data acquisition.
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - South Dakota Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Section Photography
Natural color aerial photographs acquired by a 35mm camera systems over 33 counties in eastern South Dakota. Farm Service Agency (FSA) acquired yearly imagery from 1979 through 2002.
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - Public Affairs Office (PAO) Image Gallery
The Public Affairs Office (PAO) Image Gallery collection is composed of a wide variety of data ranging from low altitude aircraft to satellite to NASA imagery. Dates span from the early ‘70’s to present.
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - National High Altitude Photography (NHAP)
Black-and-white and color infrared aerial photographs obtained from an altitude of 40,000 feet over the United States that are available as medium or high resolution digital images. (1980-1989)
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP)
More than 1.3 million cloud-free black-and-white and color infrared aerial photographs over the United States were obtained from an altitude of 20,000 feet.
USGS EROS Archive - Aerial Photography - National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP)
Aerial imagery acquired by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) during agricultural growing seasons in the conterminous United States. (2003-present)
