TÜBİTAK UZAY has conducted a research study on the use of space-based satellite resources for several aspects of agriculture. Especially, there are two precision agriculture related projects: HASSAS (Widespread application of sustainable precision agriculture practices in Southeastern Anatolia Project Region (GAP) Project) and AKTAR (Smart Agriculture Feasibility Project). The HASSAS project aims to study development of precision agriculture practice in GAP region. Multi-spectral satellite imagery and aerial hyperspectral data along with ground measurements was collected to analyze data in an information system. AKTAR aims to develop models for irrigation, fertilization and spectral signatures of crops in Inner Anatolia. By the end of the project precision agriculture practices to control irrigation, fertilization, pesticide and estimation of crop yield will be developed. Analyzing the phenology of crops using NDVI is critical for the projects. For this reason, absolute radiometric calibration of the Red and NIR bands in space-based satellite sensors is an important issue. The Göktürk-2 satellite is an earth observation satellite which was designed and built in Turkey and was launched in 2012. The Göktürk-2 satellite sensor has a resolution 2.5 meters in panchromatic and 5 meters in R/G/B/NIR bands. The absolute radiometric calibration of the Göktürk-2 satellite sensor was performed via the ground-based measurements - spectra-radiometer, sun photometer, and meteorological station- in Tuz Gölü cal/val site in 2015. In this paper, the first ground-based absolute radiometric calibration results of the Göktürk-2 satellite sensor using Tuz Gölü is demonstrated. The absolute radiometric calibration results of this paper are compared with the published cross-calibration results of the Göktürk-2 satellite sensor utilizing Landsat 8 imagery. According to the experimental comparison results, the Göktürk-2 satellite sensor coefficients for red and NIR bands estimated in this work sustained to agree within 2% of calibration coefficients estimated in the cross-calibration results.

Abstract. This work presents the results of the absolute radiometric calibration of the sensor on-board the “Sistema Satelital de Observación de la Tierra” (SSOT) using the vicarious approach based on in-situ measurements of surface reflectance and atmospheric retrievals. The SSOT mission, also known as FASat-Charlie, has been successfully operating for almost nine years ‒at the time of writing‒, exceeding its five-year nominal design life and providing multispectral and panchromatic imagery for different applications. The data acquired by SSOT has been used for emergency and disaster management and monitoring, cadastral mapping, urban planning, defense purposes, among other uses. In this paper, some results of the efforts conducting to the exploitation of the SSOT imagery for remote sensing quantitative applications are detailed. The results of the assessment of the radiometric calibration of the satellite sensor, performed in the Atacama Desert, Chile, using the data acquired and made available by the Gobabeb Station of Radiometric Calibration Network (RadCalNet), Namibia, are presented. Additionally, we describe the process for obtaining the absolute gains for the multispectral and panchromatic bands of the SSOT sensor by adapting the reflectance−based approach (Thome et al., 2001). The outputs achieved from the Atacama data collection have generated consistent results and average differences in the order of 3% with respect to the RadCalNet TOA reflectances. The presented results are an example of the benefits of having access to the RadCalNet data and how it increases the opportunity of conducting Cal/Val activities using endorsed calibration sites.
