The National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) is the focal point for distribution of remote sensing satellite data products in India and its neighboring countries. NRSC has an earth station at Shadnagar, about 55Km from Hyderabad, to receive data from almost all contemporary remote sensing satellites such as IRS-P5, IRS-P6, IRS-P4, IRS-1D, IRS-1C, IRS-P3, ERS-1/2, NOAA series, AQUA and TERRA satellites.
The data are recorded at Shadnagar / Balanagar on Digital Linear Tapes(DLTs) or CD-ROMs, DVDs or 8mm Exabyte Digital Tapes (DATs) depending on the mission, and archived for providing data products to users as and when orders are received. As per the archival policy data will be archived for a period of 5 years before being selectively purged.
NDC is a one-stop-shop for range of data products with a wide choice of resolutions, processing levels, product media, out scales, area coverage, revisit, season and spectral bands. Data products can be supplied on a wide variety of media and formats.
The classification of products is generally based on the following:
Level of processing
Output media/scale
Area of coverage
