... European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS-1) was launched on 17 July 1991, and the follow mission ERS-2 (with the same sensors and an Ozone monitoring instrument added) was launched on 21 April 1995. ... ERS-2 has a fixed repeat cycle of 35 days, and follows ERS-1 tracks with one day's delay. ... Swath width is 102.5 km (telemetered), spatial resolution is about 25x25 m.

Next: Sky Subtraction Up: Construction of Flat Previous: Standard construction . For a number of projects where very deep integrations and accurate flat fields are required, and the targets are point sources or much smaller than the frame size, the sky background itself can be used to calculate the flat field. ... Use STATISTICS/IMAGE to calculate the image median, and COMPUTE/IMAGE to divide by this to get the normalised flat field. ...

Target Acquisition Reference Information . Figure 7.1 on page 88 shows mean predicted count rates as a function of (B - V) 0 color for the four acquisition mirrors. Also shown are the fits to the predicted count rates for different amounts of reddening. ... You can estimate target acquisition count rates using the plots instead of Table 7.1 on page 92 : . ... Read from the Figures (depending on the mirror used) the predicted count rate. ...

... The ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis (PIA) is not only the main calibration tool but also the software tool of choice for the scientific analysis of data obtained with the imaging spectrophotopolarimeter ISOPHOT. Some of the main PIA enhancements related to mapping are presented in this paper, namely, the development of new algorithms for the creation of ISOPHOT maps as well as a sub-package for beam profile deconvolution. ... PIA is entirely based on the Interactive Data Language (IDL). ...
