Agricultural crops in Aragon and Catalonia
26 NOV. 2010 publication date 4335 Views

This image captures the meticulously planned cultivated landscape of the autonomous communities of Aragon (west) and Catalonia in north-eastern Spain. Many agricultural crops can be seen growing including wheat, barley, fruits and vegetables. The circular shape of many of the fields indicates central-pivot irrigation is being employed; a well drilled in the centre of each circle supplies water to a rotating series of sprinklers.

This image from the Korea Multi-purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT-2) of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute was provided under ESA Third Party Mission co-operation. ESA supports the Kompsat series as a Third Party Mission, meaning it uses its ground infrastructure and expertise to acquire, process and distribute data to users.
