Summary
Abstract: MODIS was launched aboard the Aqua satellite on May 04, 2002
(1:30 pm equator crossing time) as part of NASA's Earth Observing
System (EOS) mission. MODIS with its 2330 km viewing swath width
provides almost daily global coverage. It acquires data in 36 high
spectral resolution bands between 0.415 to 14.235 micron with ... View entire text
