Channel: GeoscienceAustralia
Date: 09/11/2016

Geoscience Australia has invested more than $4 million to upgrade the Alice Springs antenna, securing Australia’s access to essential satellite data into the future. The antenna collects satellite imagery of the Earth, known as Earth observations from space (EOS) data, which has wide ranging benefits for the Australian community and globally, including significant economic returns. EOS data is used to respond to natural disasters such as bushfires, cyclones and floods, monitor land use, develop agriculture, discover new mineral and energy resources and ensure our water security.
