Abstract :
Within the European Space Agency, the Earthnet Programme was put in charge of upgrading the Landsat stations of Fucino and Kiruna to acquire, record, and preprocess TM data. This paper highlights the main features of these systems from the point of view of the instrumentation used and performance achieved.
