Definition
- ROYAL AEROSPACE ESTABLISHMENT, UK. This is a UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) research establishment which has a division which deals with civilian earth observation activities. The two main operational activities for the satellite Remote Sensing Technology Division are the operation of the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) and the development of the UK Earth Observation Data Centre (EODC). These activities are backed up by a strong research programme specifically concentrating on microwave and near-real time applications. The RAE maintains and owns an archive of satellite imagery, mainly covering the UK, but also many other areas of the world. These archives contain data from most of the earth observation satellites since the mid-1970's. User access to these archives is through the National Remote Sensing Centre. The work of the RAE is mainly sponsored by the British National Space Centre and the Ministry of Defence.
