Terra & Aqua • http://terra.nasa.gov/ • 5 instruments • ASTER • CERES • MISR • MODIS • MOPITT
ASTER • The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer obtains high-resolution (15 to 90 square meters per pixel) images of the Earth in 14 different wavelengths (Bands) of the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from visible to thermal infrared light. • Scientists use ASTER data to create detailed maps of land surface temperature, emissivity, reflectance, and elevation. • ASTER is the only high spatial resolution instrument on the Terra platform. ASTER's ability to serve as a 'zoom' lens for the other Terra instruments is particularly important for change detection, calibration/validation and land surface studies
