Alaska Satellite Facility

The Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) is a research center that specializes in collecting and sharing satellite data about the Earth's surface. It manages a large archive of images captured by radar and other sensors from satellites orbiting space. This data helps scientists monitor environmental changes, such as glaciers, deforestation, and natural disasters, in Alaska and around the world. ASF provides access to these images to researchers, government agencies, and the public, supporting scientific research, disaster response, and resource management through advanced satellite technology.
