Mission Scope: -------------- Ten years after the first spaceborne flights of the precursor MOMS-01 in 1983/84, the new concept of a combined stereo and multi- spectral payload, the Modular Optoelectronic Multispectral Stereo Scanner (MOMS-02), was realized. It was successfully operated during Space Shuttle flight STS-55 from April 26 to May 6, ... 1993, with an average orbital altitude of 296 km and a geographic coverage of +/- 28.5 latitude. MOMS-02 opens new horizons for Earth observation from space using three-line stereo cameras. Investigations of the environment, agriculture, forestry and urban development as well as digital mapping and landscape modelling with a high degree of automation will be strongly improved by using the specific capabilities of this sensor.
The entire MOMS-02 system was manufactured by German Aero- space DASA under program and project management of:

Technical Parameters and Imaging Geometry: ---------------------------------------- All relevant basic features are described in the Supplemental Information category `Sensor` (i.e.: MOMS-02) and may be queried by interested users.
Data Volume: ------------ For the acquired 48 data takes more than 1000 data sets in different operation modes were recorded between +/- 28.5 degrees latitude over various sites around the world.
Data Quality: ------------- The evaluation of data quality and the decision for preprocessing of data sets is based on meteorological as well as system specific parameters: cloud coverage, dynamic range of data, modulation of channels (dynamic range of signal). 400 almost cloud-free scenes fulfill high standards of geometric and radiometric accuracy.
Data Processing on Ground: -------------------------- The major part of the data is now available to the international community. Those data which are not yet processed will be made avail- able on request (up to 1 month time for delivery). Raw data (level 0) are not distributed to users. Radiometrically corrected data (level 1A, only mode 1 and 3) and radiometrically/geo- metrically corrected data (level 1B, not for mode 1) are distributed to users by DLR-DFD on exabyte. Quicklooks of all data are made available on a CD-ROM, as paper copy, or are accessible by means of the information system ISIS via the Internet (see remarks and reference as listed below). Geocoded products (level 2, etc. (e.g. digital terrain models)) are being developed and will be supplied by various investigator groups. Auxiliary data (orbit, attitude and geometric calibration data) which are required for evaluation of the MOMS-Stereo data are distributed on special request.
Ordering and Access to Data: ---------------------------- Interested users can get information about the MOMS-02 system and the availability of data by means of:
- MOMS-02 / D2 Data Catalogue: This Data Catalogue booklet (issued by DARA) contains technical information about the sensor, mission, acquired data with geolocation, and ordering conditions. It can be ordered at DLR/DFD Datamanagement (see data center information).
- Intelligent Satellite Data Information System (ISIS): This system is developed by DLR as a client / server configuration, representing the interface of DLR-DFD to users and providing easy access to catalogue, inventory, browse, and general textual information.
ISIS can also be accessed by telnet directly: input: telnet 129.247.162.47 user: dlrpid password: -
Other procedures (modem or X-25) to access ISIS are described under `ISIS` under Supplementary Information and may be queried by interested people. Access presumes the installation of the client configuration which can be easily installed by the user (and is supplied free by DLR/DFD).
Future Aspects: --------------- In the future, further MOMS data are expected to be available on a continuous basis from the PRIRODA module on the Russian space station MIR, currently scheduled for September 1995 (coverage: +/-51.6 degree latitude). Geographic Coverage
