ResourceSat-1 Full Archive: Global Satellite Imagery from 2003-2013

ResourceSat-1 (IRS-P6) provides a global archive of satellite imagery products from 2003 to 2013. The collection includes three sensor products with different resolutions and spectral characteristics, managed by the European Space Agency (ESA). Data acquisition for the Neustrelitz footprint occurred between 2004 and 2013.

Use Cases

• High-resolution land cover classification based on the 5-meter LISS-IV Mono-Chromatic imagery.
• Multi-spectral vegetation analysis based on the 20-meter resolution LISS-III data.
• Broad-scale regional monitoring based on the 60-meter resolution and 370 km swath width of AWiFS data.
• Orthorectification and terrain correction workflows based on the described radiometric and ortho correction processes.

Strengths

• Offers three distinct sensor products (LISS-IV, LISS-III, AWiFS) with resolutions of 5m, 20m, and 60m respectively.
• Provides global spatial coverage for the period 2003 to 2013.
• Data products are radiometrically and ortho corrected, as described.

Limitations

• Last updated 2013-09-30 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• For LISS-IV and LISS-III ortho products, users may need to supply ground control points and DEMs if corrections are unavailable.
