Innovative technologies in remote sensing by ScanEx

Research & Development Center ScanEx

Research & Development Center ScanExis a private company, based in Moscow, Russia

The company was founded in 1989. RDC ScanEx provides full integrated solutions for satellite remote sensing applications.We offer cost-effective innovation technologies for Earth observing data acquisition, processing and further dissemination to solve the problems.

Our expertise covers electronic engineering , software development , image processing , large volume archive management, remote sensing and associated GIS techniques.


Main spheres of R&D Center ScanEx activity:

PERSONAL GROUND STATIONS It is our primary specialization. We have designed a wide range of personal ground stations for data acquisition from remote sensing satellites.

SATELLITE DATA We offer data from our own unique archive of images. At present we provide data from the following Earth remote sensing programs: IRS (India), SPOT (France), Landsat (USA), EOS (USA), RADARSAT-1 (Canada), EROS (Israel), Resurs-O1, Meteor-3M (Russia), etc

SOFTWARE ScanEx offers a wide range of software for reception, archiving, preliminary processing and in-depth thematic analysis of satellite imagery.

UniScan ™ - portable ground station for high-resolution Earth observation satellitesUniScan™ ground station is designed in two options (UniScan™-24 and UniScan™-36) to receive information from the Earth observation satellites with data stream rates up to 124 Mbps in one channel (160 Mbps in near future) including such satellites as Terra, Aqua, Monitor-E, IRS-1C/1D, IRS-P5, IRS-P6, SPOT 2, SPOT 4, EROS A, EROS B, RADARSAT-1, etc.

UniScan™ is designed as a personal or mobile station. It means that:• the station weight and dimensions do not require building a special foundation or shelter,• the station is based on a standard PC platform,• a user can control the station himself.

This makes the station affordable to any user – including an individual – due

to low installation and usage cost.

Moscow and Irkutsk ground stations for receiving Landsat 5 TM data in Mid-Decadal Global Land Survey (MDGLS) Project, managed by NASA and the USGS

ScanEX has become a participant of the International Mid-Decadal Global Land Survey (MDGLS) Project, managed by NASA and the USGS. The program objective is updating of the global Earth map of land cover, land use change to support the assessment of the climate change impacts and of human activities on the planet. An international network of stations will be executing a coordinated data reception campaign from the LANDSAT-5 TM sensor supporting the MDGLS program through December 2007.
