The LEIGH&CO ASUKA programme is a series of geotechnica satellites and related launch facilities, data processing, and other activities.

  • ASUKA-1 The initial launch for the ASUKA program. Produced 1 meter resolution color data in the visual spectrum as well as LIDAR data an isometric angle out of the southeast, out to 10km from New Eden City.
  • ASUKA-2 Second ASUKA launch completed a survey of New Eden in Y2S3, producing 1-meter color visual and composite LIDAR data from an isometric angle out of the southeast, out to 20km from New Eden City. Data processing for this product is ongoing, and made available to end-users via the Dynmap service.
  • ASUKA-3 A third ASUKA launch provices 1m multispectral sensing data from a direct overhead angle. This data will be processed to produce a forest canopy, hydrological, climatological, and magma survey.

ASUKA-3 is a follow-on to the ASUKA-1 and ASUKA-2 missions While 1 & 2 focused on producing high quality visual spectrum imaging, ASUKA-3 collects primarily scientific data. The ASUKA-3 mission captures the following datastreams at 1 meter resolution:

  • LIDAR Altitude (Y-value)
  • Visual Imaging
  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Biome composition
  • Landform classification

Raw mission telemetry is then processed into GEOTiff format where it then can be processed by existing tools, such as GDAL, ArcGIS, QGIS, etc.
