Catalog of satellite images
The catalog is designed to analyze the coverage areas applying satellite data and includes satellite imagery. Various data selection criteria (such as territorial, temporal, instrumental, the shooting conditions, etc.) are provided for convenient application.
Functional features
For the time being SOVZOND catalog contains imagery from the most popular remote sensing satellites. As for the number of satellites it is one of the largest archives. Currently you can obtain the imagery achieve from Resurs-DK1, Monitor-E, Resurs-F (Russia), QuickBird, WorldView-1, WorldView-2, GeoEye, IKONOS (USA), TerraSAR- X, RapidEye (Germany), ALOS (Japan), Pleiades-1A, B (France), TH-1 (China), Deimos-1 (Spain) satellites.
The user can choose any area in the following ways: by the name of the town, by the drawing tool or by downloading shapefile. The common image criteria for searching: the name of a satellite, an interval shooting, the allowable percentage of cloudy. The data search results are displayed on the screen, as well as accompanied by a table with the characteristics of the available images. In addition you can download “quick –looks” – it is a preview image with georeferencing file. You can input season parameters of your area of interest.
The search engine by satellites i.e. QuickBird, WorldView-1, WorldView-2, GeoEye-1, IKONOS, RapidEye, Pleiades, ALOS / PRISM, AVNIR-2, PALSAR, TerraSAR-X is possible both Service and Box Solution.

The selection criteria: you can use different criteria to specify the satellite data request:
-
timing:defining a time interval and seasonal shooting (with a selection of required months in the requested time period); ;
-
instrumental: defining the type of spacecraft and the sensor;
-
spatial: defining the geographical boundaries of the area of interest;
-
the shooting conditions: defining the spatial characteristics of the orientation of the aiming axes of the sensor, the sun's position and the cloudy at the time of the shooting;
-
the catalog data: the search possibility by catalog ID and group ID.
Update: regular updating with satellite images, the satellite data from QuickBird, WorldView-1, WorldView-2, GeoEye, IKONOS, Pleiades-1A, B, RapidEye are updated daily.
Exchange: the possibility of data exchange in accordance with”Geographic Information - Metadata based on the ISO 19115, ISO 19115-2 and ISO19139” to describe the remote sensing data and other spatial data.
