EROS 1A EROS 1A satellite, which provides 1.8 meter panchromatic imagery, was launched on December 5, 2000. It operates in a sun-synchronous circular orbit at an altitude of 480 km. The EROS satellite weighs 240 kilograms and features a CCD Sensor with more than 7,500 pixels per line. The satellite features an agile push broom sensor which is capable of rotating 45 degrees in any direction. This maneuverability provides efficient use of the satellite resources, resulting in optimized data collection and same-pass stereo collection. Each EROS scene is 12 km square. EROS data is sold by the square kilometer with the minimum order of 12.5km by 12.5km. |
