NTs OMZ Activities Research Center for Earth Operative Monitoring (NTs OMZ) carries out acquisition, recording, processing, archiving, cataloging, and dissemination of EO data from domestic and foreign EO satellites. NTs OMZ is offering EO data of different spatial resolution from Russian satellites — RESURS-DK, MONITOR-E, METEOR-3M1, RESURS-O1, OKEAN-O, METEOR-M1, 2, ELEKTRO-L1, KANOPUS-V1, RESUS-P1, 2 , and from foreign satellites — QUICKBIRD, IKONOS, EROS, SPOT, IRS, LANDSAT, RADARSAT, TERRA (MODIS, ASTER radiometers), NOAA (AVHRR radiometer), ERS as well as services on data thematic processing and value-added product generation in accordance with consumer’s requirements. The NTs OMZ’s principal activities take place within the framework of the Russian Space Program and under the agreements between ROSKOSMOS and the European Space Agency, Space Agencies of France, Germany, USA, Belorussia, and other countries. The lines of the NTS OMZ’s activities are as follows: Operation of space systems, satellite data acquisition, processing and delivering to consumers; Generation and maintenance of EO data archive and E-catalogue; Development of monitoring techniques and monitoring of satellite instrument payload information characteristics and data quality; In-flight tests of scientific and information measuring instrument packages on board operational Earth observing satellite; Advancement and upgrade of ground facilities and technologies for EO data receiving, processing, archiving, and distributing; Development of scientific and applied projects including international ones, on the Earth’s resources study, ecological monitoring, the World Ocean research, and establishing regional and territorial information systems using EO data. In NTs OMZ there was established Center for Acquisition and Processing of Remote Sensing Data available at the international bands 8-8.4GHz (data rate up to 300 Mbps) and 1.67-1.71GHz. NTs OMZ is the ROSKOSMOS’s ground segment responsible for acquisition, recording, processing, and dissemination of data from remote sensing systems. Recording and preprocessing facilities can be easily adapted for. Technical facilities and soft and hardware of the ground segment can be easily adapted for receiving and processing the data from any Russian and foreign spacecraft. NTs OMZ is maintaining the EO Data Bank, fills orders for obtaining operational EO data as well as for delivering archived in the EO Data Bank of previously made imaging with resolution of up to 1m, including data from scientific and experimental equipment. Consumers may be supplied with data products of standard processing levels and thematically processed data. The technologies for value-added processing of EO data implemented in NTs OMZ enable space monitoring of floods, fires, forests, vegetations and digital mapping of river flows, forest fires, land use, ice conditions, etc. The maps may comprise coordinate grid, hydrological object boundaries, administrative boundaries, road network, populated area names. Based on the archived very high resolution data may be generated ortho-transformed monochromatic images of terrain with resolution of from 1 to 10m, digital terrain models, geo information systems designed for municipal services, building, the environmental control and other socio-economic needs. Moreover, a variety of value-added maps of 1:10000 in scale and less may be constructed and refined by use of very high resolution data. The NTs OMZ develops and operates onboard information-measuring instrument payloads to monitor the near-Earth space. The data obtained is promptly delivered to ROSHYDROMET Heliogeophysical Service to be processed and analyzed aimed at providing authorities, civilians, and the Russian Federal Armed Forces with heliogeophysical data including: Operational current data and forecasts of solar activity, radiation environment in the near-Earth space, magnetosphere and ionosphere condition, and radio wave propagation conditions; Predicted frequency bands used in specific radio paths; Urgent data on hazards caused by abnormal natural heliogeophysical phenomena. The NTS OMZ-developed heliogeophysical instrument systems (GGAK) have been installed on board METEOR-3M № 1, METEOR-M and ELEKTRO-L satellites. The NTs OMZ is striving for enhancing data products use and quality based on EO data to the benefit of various economy branches, the Earth research, and international collaboration.
