Digital Satellite Dish Systems For DISH Network and Sky Angel Programming

Rock Dish Covers For Digital Dish Systems





























Digital images of the United States (examples below) are available from the Earth Resources Observation System (EROS) Data Center, including satellite Advanced Very-High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) useful for tracking vegetation growth on a regional basis. The EROS Data Center also serves as the central ordering agency within the Federal Government for Land Satellite (LANDSAT) Thematic Mapper (TM) and Multispectral Scanner (MSS) digital data.


Extent of Program

AVHRR, LANDSAT - global, national.


Available Product Coverage

AVHRR and LANDSAT provide multiple coverage of the United States and the World. A set of World Reference System Path-Row maps is available for LANDSAT.


Information Content

AVHRR imagery is collected in 5 channels measuring visible, near infrared, and thermal infrared radiation. Applications include cloud temperatures, sea-surface temperature, land temperature and vegetation index.
