The USGS EROS Data Center has been a major scientific data processing, archive, and product distribution center for spacecraft, shuttle, and aerial land sciences data and imagery for 25 years. The Data Center's mission is to provide the nation with reliable, impartial information from remotely sensed sources to describe and understand the Earth. Besides handling data from several series of satellites, the EDC archives more than 8 million photographs taken from aircraft. EDC's archive of digital imagery exceeds 250 TB on over 250,000 reels of tape. Current activities include the development and implementation of new computer system to process and archive EOS and Landsat 7 data.
