Opened geoportal Roscosmos


Today, December 21, 2010, at the time of the winter solstice, was opened geoportal Roscosmos. The opening was scheduled earlier, but was delayed the fall of the three GLONASS satellites in the Pacific ocean.
Below, under the cut — first impressions from the opening ceremony, and photos.

Geoportal is already available: geoportal.ntsomz.ru

Is a two-dimensional map aggregator of remote sensing data (RSD), vector information. The stated functionality of the data generation by the users themselves, but the test still failed. Opened the portal Yuri Urlichich (JSC RKS), General Designer of GLONASS.

The main component of the raster coverage — includes images with the following vehicles:

1. Meteor-3M. Conditional colors, the resolution is 60 m/pixel. Sputnik — good, equipped with SAR radar, and if the antenna is the last revealed the price and it was not said on the sidelines.
2. The Resurs-DK. Panchromatic images with a resolution of something around 2m. the Only Russian
KA super resolution data transmission over the air, instead of using photographic film. Pictures are present in commercial quantities.
3. Monitor-E. rarity and curiosity.
4. Terra (USA), Alos (Japan) Spot (France), QuickBird (USA) — are present in single copies, but rather as the demonstrators.
4. LandSat (USA) — base coat.

The functionality and interface of the portal make a good impression, to evaluate the loading characteristics, fast response, etc. is not possible. The software — developed in niitp, perhaps using OpenSource.
The absolute geolocation accuracy of images — 60 m.
The geoportal will be [partially] paid. Low resolution images will be posted daily for mere mortals, high-resolution images (probably it only about real-time images were) will be open only to paid subscribers of the service. Alas.

UPD. At the request of TarzanASG add that to the list of vector layers on geoprofile of the Russian space Agency also stated OpenStreetMap — OSM, this layer is in the resource directory. It seems to be open, although I have not.
UPD1 Dropbox, which yesterday lay images on the article, failed — notification restriction of access due to an abnormal traffic. If you can put on habrastorage — shift. While it is also not open.
