ASF Celebrates 20 Years of SAR Data
The Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) downlink at the facility by hosting an Open House on 20 August 2011. The event provided tours, lectures, demonstrations, and activities for the entire community.
The Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) has developed and deployed an Application Programming Interface (API) as an additional avenue to access the SAR Data Center’s (SDC) archive. The purpose of this API is to present users a flexible Web service that facilitates the search for and visualization of ASF datapool assets, as well as delivery of relevant metadata about those assets.
