We’ve got incredible SAR capabilities - but still struggle to use public and commercial data together. I’ve decided to build a new tool called MultiRTC to help fix this.

🚀Excited to be giving a NASA Earthdata webinar tomorrow!
I'll be walking through how to explore the new OPERA DISP dataset via ASF’s Displacement Portal. It’s gonna be great!

🌍Happy GIS Day! 🌎
Exciting news: ArcGIS Pro 3.4.0 supports NISAR HDF5 products! Updated docs for working with NISAR sample data are coming soon.
In the meantime, check out our new Burst InSAR StoryMap! storymaps.arcgis.com/stories…

Sentinel-1 orbit files are now available in the Registry of Open Data on AWS!
• Publicly available, no login required 🎉
• Less downtime, thanks to Amazon S3 🎊
• Accessible via a new s1_orbits Python library and standard S3 tools 🥳

🚨 ASF’s Sentinel-1 Burst Archive is complete!!! 🚨
You can now create on-demand InSAR products for ANY Sentinel-1 burst in @Ak_Satellite's archive. Read our docs to learn more! #GoldenAgeOfSAR #S1Bursts

So excited about this! Bursts make it much easier to work with Sentinel-1 data, especially when you're looking at small areas!
🚨ASF’s Sentinel-1 Burst Archive is complete!!! 🚨
You can now download burst data for ANY #Sentinel-1 scene in our archive. Learn more below 👇#GoldenAgeOfSAR #S1Bursts

So great to see @insar_11 using @Ak_Satellite's new Sentinel-1 burst products for landslide analyses! Our burst products are much smaller than full Sentinel-1 scenes, making them ideal for this type of analysis.

We're changing our quota system to a credit system. As of today, each job type costs a different amount of your 10,000 monthly credits. You can now submit up to 10,000 Burst InSAR jobs a month - a 10x increase!💥

⚠️ Starting April 1st, users will be given an allotment of 10,000 credits per month instead of 1,000 jobs per month.
Each type of job will cost a different number of credits. Notably, now you will be able to run up to 10,000 Burst InSAR jobs per month, a 10x increase!
Lots of exciting @Ak_Satellite presentations at #AGU23 today!
We have lots of ✨exciting ✨topics to talk about today. Learn more about the OPERA project with Dr. Franz Meyer (@SARevangelist). Then dive into this afternoon’s poster session with Dr. Forrest Williams (@RS_Forrest) and Kim Fairbanks 🥳 #AGU23 #GoldenAgeOfSAR @UAFGI @theAGU
Excited about the release of burst InSAR at @Ak_Satellite! Burst-based workflows are faster, simpler, and I now use them exclusively in my own work.
Come by my poster at #AGU23 today to learn more!

🚨Sentinel-1 Burst InSAR now available in HyP3!🚨
These bite-sized interferograms are perfect for applications that analyze small areas, or that need perfectly overlapping interferograms!

One more fantastic news for all y’all. Our colleague and friend @NASAJPL Eric Fielding (@EricFielding) became AGU’s Fellow. Congratulations Eric and thanks for all you do for the community!
Excellent choices @theAGU ! 🥳
