MISR Motor Data V003

Published by NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: August 03, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17
MISR Level 1A Motor Data are acquired as part of an on-orbit calibration experiment. These data consist of measurements of the MISR instrument calibration panel motor currents. These data also include packet data for motor ID, motor current sampling frequency, and motor temperature.The MISR instrument consists of nine pushbroom cameras which measure radiance in four spectral bands. Global coverage is achieved in nine days. The cameras are arranged with one camera pointing toward the nadir, four cameras pointing forward and four cameras pointing aftward. It takes 7 minutes for all nine cameras to view the same surface location. The view angles relative to the surface reference ellipsoid, are 0, 26.1, 45.6, 60.0, and 70.5 degrees. The spectral band shapes are nominally Gaussian, centered at 443, 555, 670, and 865 nm.
