About RDC ScanEx

ScanEx Research and Development Center (ScanEx R&D Center) is the leading Russian company on the remote sensing market that offers a complete set of services ranging from acquisition to thematic processing of Earth observation images from space. Today, ScanEx is the only Russian company that has signed license agreements with the top world remote sensing Operators for direct data acquisition from IRS, SPOT, EROS, RADARSAT and ENVISAT satellites series to UniScan™ ground stations, enabling regular near real-time monitoring of territories of Russia and the CIS countries with spatial resolution from hundreds to less than one meter.

ScanEx R&D Center has been operating as a private company since 1989. Incorporating the best achievements of Russian higher education and scientific schools, the experts at ScanEx offer modern and affordable solutions for real-time satellite image acquisition.

ScanEx has been building, maintaining and updating networks of receiving ground stations that belong to such Russian governmental agencies as Emergencies Ministry, Service of hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring (Roshydromet), Ministry of Natural Resources as well as regional space monitoring centers under educational and scientific institutions. Remote sensing centers in Spain, UAE, Vietnam, Iran, Nigeria and Kazakhstan are among the users of ScanEx technologies. Having signed license agreements with Earth observing missions operators, ScanEx is entitled to grant sub-licenses for data reception to UniScan™ ground stations owners within Russia and the CIS countries and to supply UniScan ground stations abroad.

Being the operator of a commercial network of UniScan™ ground stations in Russia, ScanEx provides the users with images acquired by IRS-P5 (CARTOSAT-1), IRS-P6 (Resourcesat-1), SPOT 2/4, EROS A, EROS B, RADARSAT-1, ENVISAT-1 satellites in real-time mode and out of its own archives. In 2008 R&D Center ScanEx obtained exclusive rights to distribution of data acquired by CARTOSAT-1, Resourcesat-1, EROS A, EROS B satellites within Russia.

On the basis of distribution and partner agreements with global operators of space programs ScanEx has been distributing high and super-high resolution images acquired by IKONOS, QuickBird, WorldView-1, KOMPSAT-2, FORMOSAT-2, TerraSAR-X and ALOS satellites.

ScanEx R&D Center is offering the generation of turn-key geoportals – the product of integration of the latest achievements in the Earth observation from Space, GIS and Web technologies and an efficient tool for territory management on the basis of the latest and continuously updated information about the Earth acquired from satellites.

ScanEx has always provided technically competent and financially feasible solutions for each of its clients and partners, whether commercial or non-commercial. The company serves a wide range of requests from an order of a satellite sub-scene up to establishment of the client’s own center for remote sensing data reception, archiving and processing.

With future in mind, ScanEx continuously designs and implements new technological and IT solutions: from universal small-aperture ground stations programmable for new Earth observing satellites to the state-of-the-art neural classification software for satellite image interpretation.

We look forward to working with you!
