Abstract
The demand of effective retrieval system for vast satellite data has been increasing year by year. The browsing system of satellite data requires much more function such as checking of clouds to the whole satellite image or quality of the image. Besides effective use of the retrieval system requires excellent graphical user interface and good connectivity to the WWW (World Wide Web) service through Internet. Thumbnail images of approapriate size were selected and display on the window of the WWW browser Netscape Navigator. We tentatively constructed the satellite data retrieval system on WWW server and checked the practical performance of the browsing and retrieval of safellite data throught WWW browsing client on various machines from parsonal computer to workstation. The responce time to get satellite images on demand from huge amounts of acquired images was measured on the Internet and evaluated for practical use.
