organisation profile
Scientific Research Center "Planeta" is a state organization that was founded in 1974.
SRC "Planeta" is a leading organization of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet) in exploiting and development of national satellite Earth observation systems of hydrometeorological (Meteor, Electro) and environmental (Resurs) purpose and also in receiving and processing data from NOAA, EOS (Terra, Aqua), METEOSAT, GOES, MTSAT and other satellites. 
SRC "Planeta" is executing operative control and guidance management of ground system for receiving and processing satellite data and includes three regional receiving and processing centers (Obninsk-Moscow-Dolgoprudny, Novosibirsk & Khabarovsk) and a network of almost 70 stationary and mobile autonomous receiving stations located in Russia, Antarctica, or mounted on ships. They provide satellite data that covers all the territory of Russian Federation and Europe. 
Each day SRC "Planeta" receives and processes vast amounts of data (more than 80 Gigabytes) and issues more than 100 types of satellite information products for federal, regional and local level users - Roshydromet organizations, Department of Defense, Emergency Control Ministry, Ministry of Environmental Resources and other ministries and departments (total - more than 300 users). Efficient data dissemination is ensured by a developed network of specialized communication links. 
SRC "Planeta" is participating on regular basis in major national and international programs concerned with use of Earth remote sensing data: operative hydrometeorology, ecology, global climate research and monitoring, disaster monitoring etc. Center possesses vast experience in realization of various applied projects (including international projects in collaboration with leading world organizations) and in building of territorial and task-oriented informational systems that use satellite data. 
All received space data is stored in archives of State Information Fund of Russian Federation (since 1979), as well as dedicated archives of informational production.
