type: Concept
definition: 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 ac…
