URSA Goes Live!

ASF’s User Remote Sensing Access (URSA) became operational on April 28, after months of effort by a dedicated team of developers and testers.

The web site replaces the Level 0 order form for ordering Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery from the European Space Agency’s ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s JERS-1 satellite, and the Canadian Space Agency’s RADARSAT-1 satellite. Currently, only Level 0 data is available through URSA. However, Level 1 and unrestricted data products will become available in the future. The new interface streamlines the order process and allows real-time feedback to users about order status. Come check out the new interface at https://ursa.asf.alaska.edu or click on “Get Data” off the ASF home page.
