LANDSAT Return Beam Vidicon Camera Data Received at NASDA in Japan

The Return Beam Vidicon Camera (RBV) is an imaging system which operates in a single spectral range of 0.505 - 0.750 micrometers with 25 meter resolution. Data collected by the Earth Observation Center, NASDA, cover a circular area about 5000 km diameter. The Earth Observation Center receives RBV data weekdays and every other Saturday. However, there is no processing line for RBV data; archived products are available in the form of magnetic tape and imagery.
