Remote Sensing
American Society for Photogrammertry and Remote Sensing
Founded in 1934, the American Society for
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) is a scientific
association serving over 7,000 professional members
around the world. Our mission is to advance knowledge
and improve understanding of mapping sciences to promote
the responsible applications of photogrammetry, remote
sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and
supporting technologies.
Core Software Technology
Core Software Technology is the creator
and provider of ImageNet.com , an Internet
Portal for easy access to information about
the world. ImageNet.com was developed to address
the difficulty inherent in finding scattered
geospatial information. Core discovered, through
working with its clients, that almost 75% of
their project's time was devoted to locating
the necessary geographic data -- ImageNet
reduced this search time from months to minutes.

Earth Satellite Coroporation (EarthSat)
Earth Satellite Corporation (EarthSat) is an
international professional services firm which
specializes in the development and application
of remote sensing and geographic information
technologies (GIS). EarthSat projects focus
on the exploration, sustainable development
and management of the Earth's resources
and the monitoring of the environment.
EROS Data Center
The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center,
located in Sioux Falls, SD is a data management, systems
development, and research field center of the U.S. Geological
Survey's National Mapping Division. The Center was
established in the early 1970's to receive, process,
and distribute data from National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) Landsat
satellites. The Center holds the world's largest
collection of space and aircraft acquired imagery of
the Earth. These holdings include over 2 million
images acquired from satellites and over 8 million
aerial photographs. The Center is also a major focal
point for information concerning the holdings
of foreign Landsat ground reception stations and data
acquired by other countries' Earth observing satellites.

Euromap
For the first time
in Germany, an efficient commercial structure
now exists to receive, archive and market satellite
Earth observation data. Experience and expertise
in data reception and data processing is being
optimally combined at Euromap with the required
marketing and distribution activities - an
essential precondition for flexibly serving
the growing market for remote sensing data.

European Organisation for the Exploitation
of Meteorological Satellites
The activities of EUMETSAT contribute
to a global meteorological satellite
observing system coordinated with other
space-faring nations. EUMETSAT is an intergovernmental
organisation created through an international
convention agreed by 17 European Member States.
These States fund the EUMETSAT programmes and are
the principal users of the systems.
European Space Agency (ESA)
The European Space Agency (ESA) is an international
organization composed of 14 Member States which aims to
"provide for and to promote, for exclusively peaceful
purposes, cooperation among European States in space
research and technology and their space applications,
with a view to their being used for scientific purposes
and operational space applications systems."

Federation of Earth Science Information Partners
The Federation maintains over 2,000 Earth Science datasets.
Every one is available to scientists, educators, policy makers,
students, and the general public. The vast majority of the data
is free. Federation partners are working together to develop
new datasets that apply to specific interests bringing Earth
science data to an ever expanding arena of users.

Global Land Cover Facility
The Global Land Cover Facility provides free online
access to Landsat and MODIS imagery and products. The
Earth Science Data Interface (ESDI) at the GLCF allows
users to query and display any of the over 20,000
Landsat scenes, including global coverage at multiple dates, as well as
a variety of MODIS and land cover products. Land Cover dynamics products
and similar datasets are also available at the local, regional or global
scales.
Global Vegetation Monitoring
The GVM Unit's mission is to provide accurate
information on changes in the world's vegetation cover
as needed for EU policy in the areas of environment,
development and external affairs. The focus is provision
of information and methodologies that support the
implementation of international environmental treaties
and conventions (such as the Framework Convention on
Climate Change, the Convention to Combat Desertification
and the Convention on Biological Diversity) and to support
the EU's aid and development programmes.

National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA)
The National Space Development Agency of
Japan (NASDA) was established on October
1 , 1969, under the National Space Development
Agency Law, to act as the nucleus for the
development of space and promote the peaceful
use of space.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is
composed of a diverse group of men and
women at NASA Headquarters and the Agency's
10 field installations around the country.
NASA,however, does not accomplish its mission
alone, but in partnership with large and small
contractors, members of the academic community,
other Federal, State, and local agencies, and
other space agencies from nations around the
globe. Together, these entities form a
comprehensive, highly skilled team that is
dedicated to providing high-quality, technologically
superior products and services to its customers.

Radarsat
A national program in remote sensing is
coordinated by the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing
(CCRS) in cooperation with other agencies of the
Government of Canada, provincial governments,
industry and Canadian universities. Established
in 1971, CCRS is responsible for the acquisition
of Earth observation data and for the development
of remote sensing applications and related
methodologies and systems.
Remote Sensing and Environmental Treaties Workshop
he rapid growth in the number of environmental
treaties since the 1972 Stockholm Conference on
the Environment has been an encouraging sign of
international commitment to protecting the environment.
The Earth Summit in 1992 provided added impetus to the
establishment of multilateral environmental
agreements (MEAs), with the formation of three
major conventions: the Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD), the Convention to Combat
Desertification (CCD), and the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change (FCCC). MEAs now
address almost every conceivable part of the
Earth's biophysical systems.
Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society
The RSPSoc (Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society)
gives you access to the world of remote sensing and
photogrammetry. The RSPSoc is a new Society, which
has formed through the merger of the former Remote
Sensing Society and Photogrammetric Society. This
merger followed from the increasing convergence
of remote sensing and photogrammetry, together
with a growing need to develop capabilities
and expertise in the use of both remotely
sensed and photogrammetric data.

Sovinformsputnik
From the time of its foundation in 1991
SOVINFORMSPUTNIK has opened for customers
and users all over the world new possibilities
in acquisition of the unique Earth surface
remote sensing data, not previously allowed for
commercial distribution and use. The Company was
founded by a number of enterprises of
industry responsible for development,
manufacturing and operation of modern remote
sensing systems, which until just recently were
used only for defense purposes. The strategic
direction of our activity is satellite survey,
commercial distribution of the data, acquired by
the above mentioned systems, and provision of
added value products and services for peaceful
and scientific purposes.
Space Imaging
Since its founding in late 1994, Denver,
Colorado-based Space Imaging has quickly become
a world leader in digital Earth information to
better map, measure, monitor, and manage the
world we live in - from our national assets to
global crop production. Space Imaging's
already diverse collection of resources
grew with the launch of IKONOS, the world's
first one-meter resolution, commercial imaging
satellite, on September 24, 1999. The addition
of the IKONOS satellite to Space Imaging's
portfolio enables the company to produce
more economical information products with
delivery timelines that far exceed the
standards in the marketplace.
SPOT Image
Spot Image is the commercial operator of the Spot
system, but also offers products and services
derived from various optical and radar sensors
with resolutions ranging from 1 km to 1 m.
