After the news last week of the death of TopSat, it is good to see that NASA have opened up EO-1 for tasking. EO-1 was “launched on November 21, 2000 as part of a one-year technology validation/demonstration mission.” Its been very successful and lasted considerably longer than most thought. It carries the ALI multi-spectral (10m Pan and 30m MS) and Hyperion hyperspectral (220 30m bands) sensors. If you are in need of data then visit the Data Acquisition Request page and submit a request; this will be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, tasked.
