Survey of remote sensing applications Survey of remote sensing applications

Data from the first earth resources technology satellite (ERTS) as well as from NASA and other aircraft, contain much of the information indicative of the distribution of groundwater and the extent of its utilization. Thermal infrared imagery from aircraft is particularly valuable in studying groundwater discharge to the sea and other surface water bodies. Color infrared photography from...

Mapping of the 1973 Mississippi River floods from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) Mapping of the 1973 Mississippi River floods from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS)

On March 31, and May 4 and 5, 1973, the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) obtained multispectral scanner imagery over the Mississippi River below St. Louis, Missouri. The river was in flood, and the ERTS data provided the first opportunity for regional synoptic mapping of the extent of flooding at the time the imagery was obtained along a 1200 river-mile reach and some...

Image resolutions for ERTS, SKYLAB and GEMINI/APOLLO Image resolutions for ERTS, SKYLAB and GEMINI/APOLLO

Early in 1972 the first Earth Resource Technology Satellite (ERTS-A) is scheduled for launch in near-polar orbit. It will carry three return-beam-vidicon (RBV) TB cameras and a multispectral scanner (MSS). In 1973 a post-Apollo manned space flight called SKYLAB will orbit the earth at an inclination of 50° to the Equator. In addition to other sensors it will carry a battery of six...

ERTS and EROS ERTS and EROS

In June the National Aeronautics & Space Administration is to launch its first experimental satellite designed to view the Earth systematically with remote-sensing instruments that will provide new information about our resources and environment. The launching will culminate more than 8 years of planning and research by resource agencies of the Federal Government in cooperation with NASA...
