Nossin International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences ITC, Enschede, the Netherlands. ABSTRACT 1 Earth Observation by Remote Sensing - the need for investment in human resources ; a reservoir of knowledge to apply the technology. 2 RS data and Information Extraction - thematic and metric informaton; geo-based information. 3 Users Identification - planners, decisionmakers, technical and scientific users. 4 Domains of Application - product user fields; environmental analysis and management. 5 Relationships Between Technical And Users Levels - the gap between data collection and management capacities, and the users' capacities for application.. 6 GIS, Remote Sensing and Information Management - temporal analysis; overlays; scanned air photos. 7 Transfer Of Knowledge on Remote Sensing Application 7.1 Facilities of Knowledge Transfer 7.2 Subject Matter - for interpreters - for mapmakers - for planners and decisionmakers - image processing . 8 Constraints and Obstacles 1. EARTH OBSERVATION BY REMOTE SENSING Although airborne remote sensing techniques (radar, infrared line scanning, multispectral scanning) expanded the earth observation technology considerably, earth observation by remote sensing from space must be considered the real big addition in data collecting power. Landsat I, launched in 1972, marked the beginning of that era. The next step forward was the Thematic Mapper with its vastly expanded resolution both radiometric and spatial. It was followed by SPOT, improving the spatial resolution even further, to 10 m. for the panchromatic mode, but above all, adding a stereo-capability to our observations. * This will be my first premise: it will be clear that especially the Developing Countries stand to benefit immensely from a proper application of these technologies, to the inventory, mapping and monitoring, of their own resources, national territory, and environment. * * A second premise is that remote sensing is here to stay, as in 1985 both EOSAT and SPOT Image have declared their systems operational. That means, among other things, that availability and continuity of data is assured within the limits of the system. The announced operational systems (SPOT and Landsat 6 onward) also work on a commercial basis - which means a substantial increase in the prices that the user has to pay for the data, compared to the prices in the experimental period. * Landsat 4 and 5 and beyond : Landsat 4 and 5: - Lower orbit: 705 km; scene still 185 x 185 km. - Ground resolution ca 30 x 30 m, for Thematic Mapper, 6 bands + one in thermal IR with 120m resolution. - Temporal resolution (repetitivity): 16 days. Landsat 6 was lost in the launching (1993) Landsat 5 is still delivering imagery (1998) Information on the future of the Landsat Program as presented in 1996: Landsat 7 is being developed by NASA, launch scheduled for Dec. 1998. Ground data operations: at EROS Data Centre. Eosat Co operates Landsat data and has exclusive rights on Indian IRS data (more datails below), NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE) and the EOS platforms (one a.m, one p.m and a ’chemical’ atmospheric platform) are still under development. Landsat 8 with advanced sensors is planned for 2004. SPOT : Satellite Pour I'Observation de la Terre Launch date SPOT-1:22 Feb. 1986 SPOT-2: 22 Jan. 1990
