Oleson and Thomas M. Holm U.S. Geological Survey EROS Data Center Sioux Falls, SD 57198 Darla J. Werner Hughes STX Corporation EROS Data Center Sioux Falls, SD 57198 ABSTRACT The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center has been collecting regional, continental, and global Earth observations data acquired by satellites, aircraft, and other information-gathering systems for more than 20 years. Currently, the Center holds more than 10 million satellite images and aerial photographs in both photographic and digital formats. In its role as the National Satellite Land Remote Sensing Data Archive, the Center is continually investigating and exploiting new technologies to ensure the long-term availability of these data. For example, the Center is converting its Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) and Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite data from high-density instrumentation tapes to new, more stable archive media. In conjunction with the media conversion effort, the Center has successfully recovered more than 15,000 Landsat scenes from nearly 700 archive tapes affected by a condition called hydrolysis. The Center is also investigating new techniques to improve the accessibility of products and services from the archive. For example, the Landsat media conversion effort is providing the opportunity to collect digital browse images for user viewing through state-of-the-art information systems, such as the USGS Global Land Information System. Also, the Center is developing a capability for users to select, through an interactive graphical user interface, geographic or reduced-resolution subsets of very large digital satellite data sets. Such a capability will improve the effectiveness of their delivery by way of conventional wide-area networks. KEY WORDS: Archive, Hydrolysis, Information System, Landsat, Media Conversion, Transcription 1. INTRODUCTION The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center is a data management, systems development, and research field center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). 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 has been collecting regional, continental, and global Earth observations data acquired by satellites, aircraft, and other information-gathering systems for more than 20 years. The Center holds the world's largest collection of satellite- and aircraft-acquired images of the Earth's land surface. These holdings include more than 3 million satellite images and more than 7 million aerial photographs. The Center is also a major source for information about the holdings of foreign Landsat ground reception stations and data acquired by other countries' Earth-observing satellites. The Centers management of global Earth observations data includes developing and operating advanced systems for receiving, processing, distributing, and applying land-related earth science, mapping, and other geographic data. More than 60,000 inquiries and orders are received annually, resulting in the distribution of more than 250,000 products to users around the world. Center activities include operating the National Satellite Land Remote Sensing Data Archive, a legislatively mandated responsibility, and the Federal Land Remote Sensing Research Program. The archive is responsible for maintaining a high quality data base of space acquired images of the Earth suitable for use in the study of global change and related scientific programs. The Federal Land Remote Sensing Research Program allows Federal agencies, universities, and other organizations to assign scientists and researchers to the Center on a full-time basis with complete access to its analytical equipment, data, and research facilities. As a major participant in the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the Center provides data to scientists from around the world to improve Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 229
