3 1. ERSDAC

4 What is ERSDAC? ERSDAC (Earth Remote Sensing Data Analysis Center) was founded on September 30, Non-profit foundation as an enterprise of METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). Researched and development of the application technology of OPS and SAR. ERSDAC has operated Terra/ASTER, which is the succeeding sensor of JERS-1/OPS, and distributed its data. ERSDAC will distribute ALOS/PALSAR data, which is the succeeding sensor of JERS-1/SAR and was launched on January 24 th, R&D to use ASTER and PALSAR data for natural resource exploration, environmental assessment, disaster monitoring and others.

5 ERSDAC s Duties (1) Data application technology development for ; Oil and gas exploration Metal mining exploration Earth observation/monitoring (ex. Forest, Desertification, Coastal change, Red tide/blue tide, Forest fire, etc.) Disaster observation (ex. Earthquake, Landslides, Flood, Volcanic eruption, etc.) (2) Remote sensing data center Data archive center (JERS-1/OPS & SAR, ASTER, PALSAR) Data distribution (JERS-1/OPS & SAR, ASTER, PALSAR) Promotion for industrialization of satellite data utilization (3) Data processing ASTER/PALSAR Ground Data System (GDS) operation Calibration and Validation of ASTER/PALSAR Data
