  17. CBERS Program: An Overview

  18. CBERS: China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite • Brief History • Initial agreement signed in July 6th, 1988, covering CBERS-1 and 2. • In 2002, both governments decided to expand the initial agreement by including CBERS-3 and 4. • Program objectives • Build a family of remote sensing satellites to support the needs of users in earth resources applications • Improve the industrial capabilities of space technology in Brazil and China

  19. CBERS Orbit • Sun synchronous • Height: 778 km • Inclination: 98,48 degrees • Period: 100,26 min • Equator crossing time: 10:30 AM • Revisit: 26 days • Distance between adjacent tracks: 107 km

  29. CBERS Ground Station in Brazil • Developed by Brazilian company and INPE • Major cost saving • User-centered design • User requests products in a web interface • Products are generated automatically • User can download products via FTP • Efficiency and scalability • Based on low-cost Linux PCs • Totally automated, no operator intervention

  30. Data Policy for CBERS • The downlink data is open to any country or organization. • The data downlink for CBERS will be carried out through a ground station. • China and Brazil may, in a few special cases, upon mutual consultation, decide on the transfer of data free of charge. • The revenues resulting from the distribution of CBERS data will be equally shared between China and Brazil.

  31. Policy for CBERS International Data Downlink • Access fee is charged on a LANDSAT-like basis • One flat annual fee for complete access to all data in the antenna’s footprint • Distribution in areas within the antenna’s footprint is the responsibility of the ground station operator • There is no additional charge for image distribution • Ground station operators are encouraged to distribute CBERS data free of charge on the Web

  32. Remote Sensing Data Centre

  33. Remote Sensing Data Centre • MSS-LANDSAT: 1973 - 1983 • Available for free on the web • http://www.dgi.inpe.br/CatalogoMSS/ • TM/ETM-LANDSAT: 1984 - 2000 • Being placed on-line (free access) until the end of 2005 • CBERS-2 • Available for free on the web (http://www.obt.inpe.br/CBERS) • MODIS • Being placed on-line (free access) until the end of 2005
