National Geospatial Reference system
The GNSS database contains metadata and data quality statistics for continuous operating GNSS stations in Australia, its Territories and the South Pacific.

MODIS Imagery
These data sets have a spatial resolution of no closer than 80 m and are collected on a close to weekly basis. The AVHRR and MODIS sensors service most Australian needs for low resolution optical data. Data is derived from MODIS, AVHRR, VIIRS missions

Landsat Imagery
These data sets have a spatial resolution between 10–80 m and are collected on a weekly to monthly basis. They are the most commonly used category of imagery data. For several decades the Landsat series of satellites have provided the majority of medium.
Geoscience Australia started acquiring ETM+ data from the Landsat 7 satellite in July 1999. The Geoscience Australia archive is the largest repository of Landsat 7 images covering Australia.
A fault with the Landsat 7 Scan Line Corrector (SLC) occurred on 31 May 2003 resulting in small gaps in the processed products.
ASTER mineral maps
The ASTER geoscience map of Australia is a set of digital geoscience products generated from satellite ASTER data. ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) is a Japanese imaging instrument on board USA’s TERRA satellite. The multispectral imaging sensor is the world’s first “geoscience tuned” satellite Earth Observing System. The ASTER geoscience maps of Australia represent the first continent-scale maps of the Earth’s surface mineralogy.
ASTER Imagery
Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is a sensor onboard the Terra satellite , launched in December 1999. The Terra satellite also carries the MODIS sensor and follows a similar orbit to Landsat 7.
OLI Imagery
These data sets have a spatial resolution between 10–80 m and are collected on a weekly to monthly basis. They are the most commonly used category of imagery data. For several decades the Landsat series of satellites have provided the majority of medium
SPOT Imagery
We are currently working with this datasets custodian to consume their metadata to populate these fields.
ALOS Imagery
Geoscience Australia is no longer a distributor of imagery from the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS). A five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) granted Geoscience Australia the data distribution rights for Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific Islands. This MOU expired in December 2010, consequently no new ALOS data is available from Geoscience Australia.
