The celebration of ASF’s quarter-century milestone took place at an open house in early June 2016. The day featured an art show, scientific poster sessions, and activities for all ages linking varied Earth sciences to the data and services provided by ASF.
Since 1991, ASF has provided synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and imagery from key Earth-observing satellite sensors to a growing community of international researchers. As one of 12 NASA Distributed Active Archive Centers, ASF archives and distributes more than 2.5 petabytes of SAR data to scientists studying subjects that include ecology, earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers, permafrost, oil spills, climate change, and more.
