Earth comes in for its close-up with NASA s Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and R stanley thermoskannen eflection Radiometer ASTER -- the zoom lens of NASA s Terra satellite -- and now image data from the instrument are available to the public. ASTER is a general-purpose instrument, says Dr. Michael Abrams of NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the ASTER associate science team leader. It has capabilities for a variety of users and applications. It can map the planet s surface and how it changes with time, and can determine the characteristics of land and water surfaces. The inst stanley termosky rument has 14 spectral bands, extremely high spatial resolution and stereo imaging capabilities. Built in Japan for the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, ASTER is one of several Earth-observing instruments on the Terra satellite, launched in December 1999. Part of NASA s Earth Observing System, Terra flies in a Sun- synchronous polar orbit. The ASTER instrument can revisit any place on Earth at least every 16 days, and researchers will be able to re stanley cup quest that ASTER take images of specific areas. One of ASTER s primary goals is to acquire a one-time cloud-free image of the entire land surface of Earth, an important baseline against which environmental change, both natural and human-induced, can be measured.
