Satellites and S Guide - Resources and Review

Collection of satellite pictures and movies of recent major events such as hurricanes and volcanoes.
 
Online classroom linking teachers and students to specific resources on weather, climate change, oceans and coasts, satellites and space.
 
A bibliographic database on research, programs, and results which relate to the use of satellite remote sensing for disaster mitigation. A compilation of abstracted articles published since 1981 in relevant areas including: fires, eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, flooding, hurricanes, tsunami, avalanches
 
The world's largest commercial satellite communications services provider. Its global satellite system brings telephone, television, and data distribution services to billions of people on every continent.
 
The Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN) is a collaborative project to install 250 permanent, continuously recording Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers in and around the Los Angeles basin to provide accurate deformation information that will improve estimates of earthquake hazards. With this satellite technology, scientists are able to obtain extremely precise measurements of motions of the surface of the earth and the motion of the tectonic plates that make up its crust.
 
Offers an introduction to the subject of small satellites, with sections about relevant technologies, specific types of small satellites, projects, conferences, and a glossary.
 
Collection of real time satellite images of the Earth's regions, depicting land masses, atmospheric conditions, and oceans. Also illustrates cloud cover and wind speed, and details the geographical coordinates and scale of areas viewed.
 
A digital library of real
time and historical satellite data from NOAA's Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellites (POES). The system allows users to search satellite data inventories, preview subsampled Earth images of that data and download the actual data for further analysis.
 
Text from a series of educational leaflets covering a wide range of topics in astronomy and cosmology. Educational use of the information by private individuals or schools is encouraged.
 
Details of Canada's national space programme, including the Radarsat Earth observation satellite.
 
Details of research activities, programs, projects, laboratories and services in x
ray astronomy, including a picture gallery, data and images from the ROSAT satellite. Most information is available in English and German.
 
ASTER is an imaging instrument on EOS AM
1, a satellite launched in 1998 as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). ASTER will be used to obtain detailed maps of surface temperature, emissivity, and reflectance elevation.
