Welcome to Sentinel Asia Web Site
Sentinel Asia is a "voluntary and best-efforts-basis initiatives" led by the APRSAF (Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum) to share disaster information in the Asia-Pacific region on the Digital Asia (Web-GIS) platform and to make the best use of earth observation satellites data for disaster management in the Asia-Pacific region.
Sentinel Asia is to initially be an internet-based, node-distributed, information distribution backbone, eventually distributing relevant satellite and in-situ spatial information on multiple hazards in the Asia-Pacific region. The system will draw on satellite derived products and imagery from all available earth observing geostationary, or low-earth orbiting satellites, including meteorological satellites that provide routine data to the region.
The system is also to be used by member countries of Sentinel Asia in the Asia-Pacific region to 'trigger' dedicated satellite-data acquisitions through their participating and cooperating space agencies during major disasters in their countries.
