2. THE EROS SATELLITES
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The EROS satellites are lightweight LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellites with a single electrooptical camera system. EROS satellites acquire high-resolution panchromatic imaging
data.
EROS satellites are designed to maximize operator flexibility in the creation and
adaptation of the daily image acquisition plan. The EROS Satellites’ high maneuverability
enables them to be quickly pointed to image customer specified sites on Nadir or at
oblique angles of up to 45 degrees. Oblique viewing enables the satellite to view
virtually any site on Earth as often as two to three times per week.
The orbital period of the EROS satellites, for one revolution around the Earth, is 94-96
minutes. The satellites complete approximately 15 revolutions around the Earth every
24 hours, with two daylight passes per day through the footprint of a typical Ground
Receiving Station.

3. DEFINITION OF TERMS USED IN THIS GUIDE
□
Imaging/Acquisition:
The action of the satellite taking an image of a requested area (One shot of the satellite's
camera).
□
Scene:
The area that is being imaged by the satellite.
□
AOI – Area of Interest:
An area in which the customer is interested, that will be imaged by the satellite.
In order to cover an entire requested AOI, it might be necessary to acquire more than
one image.
□
Off-Nadir Angle:
The off-nadir angle is the angle between the acquired scene's center, the satellite and
the nadir (the normal to the Earth from the satellite's center).
Each image operation is defined by its starting and ending off-nadir angle, which
changes along the imaging process (as the satellite moves in its orbit).
As a rule, the smaller the off-nadir angle is, the better the resolution (GSD) is.

Details
The four image data channels are assembled to one
image (the satellite's camera sensor is composed of four
separate 'rulers'). No additional processing is done.
The date is just as it was received from the satellite.
Provided only per customer request.
The 0A imagery (16-bit format) is processed: Known
radiance response characteristics of the camera sensor
system are fixed by calibration and gain adjustment.
Also, ruler-overlap correction is performed.
The 1A imagery (16-bit format) is processed: Known
sensor or acquisition (ephemeris) based geometric
corrections are applied to compensate for camera optics
and scanning distortions.
Level 1B images are provided in the WGS84 Coordinate
System.
As a default, EROS-A and EROS-B images are processed to 1A and 1B levels, both
provided to the customer.
4.4 VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS
ImageSat can create an advanced product from the Level 1A/1B image (based on EROS-B
images only). This is completely optional, and done only by request of the customer.
The available products are:
Value Added
Product
DEM (Digital
Elevation
Model)
Details
A DEM (Digital Elevation model) is a grid of coordinates, each consisted of
Longitude, Latitude and Altitude. Usually it's required for the production
of an Orthophoto, however it may be provided as a standalone product.
By default it's based on the WGS84 coordinate system.
Prerequisite: Stereo Pair
A DEM is produced from a stereo pair. Therefore, it's required to order
stereo imaging if a DEM is required.
9
Required Information: Grid Density
The Customer should specify the Coordinate Grid Interval, meaning – the
horizontal and vertical distance (in meters) between each pair of
coordinates in the grid.
If the DEM will be used as a base to an Orthophoto, than the
Orthophoto's scale dictates the recommended DEM's Grid Density:

For a scale of 1:5000 – Density of 40m or lower is recommended.

For a scale of 1:10,000 – Density of 50m or lower is recommended.
Orthophoto
An Orthophoto is an image that is geometrically processed
("Orthorectified") so that its scale is uniform: the photo has the same lack
of distortion as a map. Therefore, it can be used to measure true
distances.
The orthophoto looks as though it was acquired directly from above.
Prerequisite: DEM
An Orthophoto is produced from an image and a DEM.
The DEM can be created by ImageSat. Therefore, it's required to order a
DEM if an orthophoto required).
Another available option is that ImageSat will use an existing Free-forCommercial-Use DEM, the SRTM, which has a Grid Density of 90m.
Required Information: Final Product Scale
The Customer should specify Final Product's scale (up to-1:2500).
ImageSat can add (by request) Altitude Contour Lines.
The Meter Interval should be specified by the customer.
Pan-Sharpened
Image
A Pan-Sharpened Image is a merging of a high-resolution panchromatic
image with a low-resolution multispectral image, in order to create a
high-resolution color image.
Prerequisite: A color Image of the AOI
In order to produce the Pan-Sharpened Image, the customer may provide
a pre-purchased color image of the AOI.
Another available option is that ImageSat will buy a color image of the
AOI from Rapid-Eye Company.

The QA process of ImageSat is designed to find any anomalies in the products and
to verify that the product meets the customer's specifications.
A Qualified Image should meet the following requirements:
□
Clear of any anomaly:
The image is clear of Haze, BER, Geometric Distortion, etc.
□
Location:
The image is located within the area requested by the customer.
□
Cloud Cover (CC) meets the requirement:
Cloud Cover assessment is done by calculating the number of pixels with a value
above a threshold color out of all the product pixels (image or a polygon).
The validation criteria is 80% clouds free product.
Cloud free requests can be fulfilled for additional cost.
The customer gets only qualified images. If an acquired image doesn't pass the QA
requirements, it will be imaged over and over again, until it meets the QA requirements,
without any further cost to the customer.
4.7 SUPPLY OPTIONS
After the final QA verification, the customer will receive the ordered product.
By default, the images are provided by FTP download.
It can also be supplied by CD/DVD by customer request, for additional cost.

5. SERVICES GUIDE
5.1 IMAGESAT'S ORDER DESK
ImageSat has an Order Desk, to handle all customer requests and orders.
To contact, send an e-mail to: [email protected]
It is recommended to first read all the following information in the Services Guide, in
order to understand the company's workflow. Nevertheless, the Order Desk will gladly
help each customer with his questions, regardless if he wishes to place an order.
5.2 SERVICE TYPES
ImageSat offers the following two types of services:
5.2.1 NEW ACQUISITION
This service provides a guarantee to the customer that ImageSat will task the
satellite to fulfill the image acquisition request on the first possible attempt (unless
ordered for a specific date – see "Special Imaging Requirements", pg. 14).
The first possible attempt may be as close as the following day or until 5-6 days
from the ordering day, depending on the location of the AOI.
ImageSat commits to attempt to acquire the specified location on a best effort
basis in the context of the satellite capacity and other higher priority orders in the
orders queue.
For a complete explanation about this service workflow and timeframes, please
refer to "The Workflow Procedure – From Request to Shipment" (pg. 13).
For advanced ordering options, please refer to "Special Imaging Requirements" (pg.
14) and ""Last Call" Times for Ordering Imaging on a Specific Date" (pg. 16).
5.2.2 ARCHIVED IMAGES
ImageSat offers its customers the option to order data from the entire archive of
the EROS satellites.
An archived image is defined as an image older than 60 d.
Requested archived images will be supplied to the customer (by FTP or CD/DVD) no
later than 72 hours after the request is received by ImageSat.
Archived images are offered at a special price. Archived images less than 6 months
old are offered at the regular image price.
12
5.3 THE WORKFLOW PROCEDURE – FROM REQUEST TO SHIPMENT
This Workflow specifies all the actions that are performed for every New Acquisition
Request:
Step Description
1.
The customer submits his New Acquisition Request to the Order Desk.
2.
ImageSat's Order Desk checks the order and performs a feasibility assessment, taking
into consideration the order's details, the satellite' abilities and higher priority orders
in the area. If any changes should be made to the order, they are first agreed with the
customer.
3.
ImageSat's Order Desk places the order in the imaging queue.
The customer receives a notification e-mail stating that the order has been
processed.
4.
ImageSat attempts to acquire an image of the specified location.
5.
After acquisition of an image, ImageSat conducts a Quality Assessment (QA) of the
image.

If the image complies with ImageSat’s QA requirements, the customer receives a
notification e-mail that states the imaging was successful.
The delivery, either by CD/DVD or by FTP download, is prepared within two
business days.
Value added products require an additional 30 days to be prepared and
delivered.
In case of FTP download, the customer receives an e-mail with the link to the
FTP.

If the image does not comply with ImageSat’s QA requirements, ImageSat will
acquire the image again, until successful).
A new opportunity to image a specific coordinate on Earth is available every 5-6
days, so the customer should expect this period of time to pass between each
imaging attempt.

After every imaging attempt (including the unsuccessful ones), the customer
receives a notification e-mail with the imaging results and a “quick look” (jpg)
of the acquired image.
6.
The customer is charged only for the final successful image, and not for the preceding
unsuccessful attempts.
13
5.4 SPECIAL IMAGING REQUIREMENTS
A customer may choose to add Special Imaging Requirements to his order.
Imagesat offers the modification of the following 6 imaging parameters, but the
customer may also submit any other requirement, in order to get the best out of his final
product.
□
Imaging on a Specific Date/Time period
When ordering the New Acquisition Service, the customer may ask to image his AOI
on a specific date, or during a specific time period.
In this case, ImageSat will verify that the AOI can be imaged on this date/time
period, and let the customer know whether it's possible or not. In case it's not
possible, ImageSat will let the customer know when the AOI can be imaged instead.
When ordering an imaging on a specific date, the customer needs to do so until the
"Last Call" time – which means, enough time before the actual time of the imaging.
The allowed time is relatively short, but it's recommended that the customer will
read the explanation on this limitation. Please see ""Last Call" Times for Ordering
Imaging on a Specific Date" (pg. 16).
□
Multiple Acquisitions
Usually, the customer is provided with one successful image of his requested AOI.
However, a customer may be interested in getting as many images as possible of his
requested AOI, during a specific time period. In this case, the customer may specify
the starting and ending dates of the time period.
Charge for this kind of service is done for each successful imaging.
□
Max Off-Nadir Angle
By default, ImageSat ensures that each scene will be imaged in the best possible offnadir angles. In the worst case, the max off-nadir angle isn't allowed to exceed 30°,
in order to ensure a good resolution (GSD) for the entire scene – less than 1 meter.
If, from any reason, the customer wishes to limit the off-nadir angle, he may ask for
it.
□
Resolution (GSD) Limit
As explained, the max allowed off-nadir angle ensures that the resolution will be less
than 1 meter in the entire area of the scene.
If, despite that, the customer wishes to limit the resolution (for example, to less than
0.8 meters), he may ask for it.
14
□
Scanning Azimuth
Scanning azimuth refers to the azimuth in which the satellite scans the scene.
The customer may specify a requested scanning azimuth, between 0°-359°.
Some examples:
(Upper view on Earth's surface. The arrow shows the direction of the
scan on Earth's surface. The AOI remains the same, while the scanning azimuth can
be changed)
The most efficient
azimuth for EROS images
is 180°, but any azimuth
can be requested.
□
AOI
AOI
AOI
180°
270°
225°
Viewing Azimuth
Viewing azimuth refers to the location of the satellite relative to the scene's
location.
The viewing azimuth changes along the duration of imaging, because the satellite
keeps moving in its orbit. Therefore, in case of limiting the viewing azimuth, a range
should be stated (for example, limiting the viewing azimuth from 90° to 120° means
that when the imaging begins, the satellite's viewing azimuth will be greater than
90°, and when it ends, the viewing azimuth will be smaller than 120°).
Limiting the viewing azimuth is useful for the case that the AOI is obstructed from
certain directions. For example, if the scene must be viewed from the east, it can be
imaged in the range of viewing azimuth of 45° to 135°. If it must be viewed from the
west, it can be imaged in the range of viewing azimuth of 225° to 315°.
Some examples:
(Upper view on Earth's surface. The arrow shows the satellite's orbit and cruise
direction. The dashed lines show the satellite's viewing azimuth at the beginning and
ending of the scan)

□ Any other questions or requests.
ImageSat's Order Desk will check the details of your order, and contact you as soon as
possible. For a full description of the workflow after the customer submits his order, see
"The Workflow Procedure – From Request to Shipment" (pg. 13).
5.7 HOW TO PROVIDE THE AOI
In order to submit a New Acquisition Request, the customer should provide ImageSat's
Order Desk with his requested AOI (Area of Interest) – The area that the customer
wishes to acquire.
The AOI can be provided in the following ways:
□ KMZ/KML file: A file exported from "Google Earth".
□ SHP file:
A file exported from the "ArcMap" program.
□ Coordinates: Coordinates (Longitude and Latitude) of the center point of the area,
with the addition of the area's length (width is dependent on the chosen satellite).
The coordinate's format may be in Decimal Degrees or in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds
– whichever is preferable by the customer.
KMZ/KML or SHP files are recommended for large, polygonal areas.
Coordinates are recommended for small areas.
Polygons may also be defined by coordinates. The customer may provide the
coordinates of the polygon's corners, though usage of KMZ/KML/SHP file is more
convenient.
If the customer is having problems creating a KMZ/KML or SHP file, he can describe his
AOI's location to the Order Desk, and the Order Desk will help him define it.
All coordinates should be provided in WGS84 datum.
