The Centre for Remote Imaging, Sensing and Processing (CRISP) is a research centre of the National University of Singapore established with funding from the Agency for Science, Technology & Research (A*STAR) of Singapore.

CRISP's mission is to develop an advanced capability in remote sensing to meet the scientific, operational and business requirements of Singapore and the region.

CRISP operates a satellite ground station to acquire data from remote sensing satellites, and processes the archived data to standard or value-added products for distribution and research. The list of satellites CRISP receive include:

  • SPOT 1,2,4 (since September 1995)
  • ERS 1,2 (since March 1996)
  • RADARSAT 1 (May 1997 - May 2000)
  • SeaWiFS, NOAA and FengYun 1C (since September 1999)
  • TERRA (MODIS) (since March 2001)
  • IKONOS (since August 2001)
  • EROS-A1 (since October 2001)
  • AQUA (MODIS) (since July 2002)
  • SPOT 5 (since October 2002)
CRISP is ready to provide special products custom processed to users' requirements, or training/consultation services in the field of remote sensing. 

CRISP also undertakes research in optical and microwave remote sensing technology and applications. The current research interest areas are: ocean and coastal studies, tropical vegetation studies, and remote sensing data processing techniques.
