New Podcast from ASRC Management Services Discusses Company’s Expanding Role in Geospatial Industry Print E-mail
Written by ASRC Management Services   
Wednesday, 23 April 2008

Greenbelt, MD, USA, 23 April 2008 – ASRC Management Services (ASRC MS), which was recently awarded an exclusive contract for U.S. distribution of India’s Resourcesat-1 and Cartosat-1 image data, has released a Podcast discussing the company’s expanding role in the international geospatial industry. The six-minute Podcast features an interview with Tim Lewis, President of ASRC MS.

The Podcast may be accessed at www.asrcms.com and listened to on any MP3 audio device including Windows Media Player.

In January 2008, ASRC MS announced that it had been awarded exclusive rights in the U.S. for satellite imagery collected by the Resourcesat-1 and Cartosat-1 satellites. These rights were granted to ASRC MS by ANTRIX Corp. Ltd, the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Under the agreement, ASRC MS has also become the sole ground station partner for ANTRIX in the U.S. to receive data collected over the U.S. in near real-time.

The new agreement marks the expansion of a successful 3-year cooperative relationship which started in 2004 when ASRC MS began supporting the use and integration of imagery from Resourcesat-1 within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of Global Analysis, Foreign Agricultural Services, International Production Assessment Division.

Tim Lewis stated, “ASRC MS is looking forward to the growth of this program as our entire corporation focuses on merging our geospatial technology capabilities in order to benefit our vast array of clients.”
