Click anywhere on the QGIS canvas to discover which CORONA satellite passes cover that location, confirmed in real time against the imagery server. Each pass can be expanded into its individual frames. Load any image directly into QGIS, or open the Corona CAST Atlas webpage at that location. CORONA imagery was collected by US reconnaissance satellites between 1960 and 1972 and is a unique resource for archaeology, landscape change, and historical research. Original version created as part of the EAMENA project (University of Leicester / Durham University / University of Oxford). Imagery and services provided by CAST, University of Arkansas.
