SIR-C Data Transition from NASA to USGS
The SIR-C data archive and systems has transitioned from NASA to the USGS, in keeping with existing agreements between the two agencies. On October 2, 2000, the SIR-C dataset and systems became the responsibility of the USGS at EROS.
SIR-C System Status
As of June 2005, unprocessed precision data is no longer available from the EROS archive as the SIR-C processor is inoperable and not repairable. Repair parts and maintenance support of critical system components are no longer available to continue SIR-C system operations.
Users are advised, however, that previously processed SIR-C precision data is available over certain areas and can be searched and ordered through EarthExplorer.
