This
brochure
describes
the
Moderate
Resolution
Imaging
Spectrometer
(MODIS)
instrument
on
NASA's
Terra
satellite.
The
first
NASA
Earth
Observing
System
(EOS)
satellite,
Terra,
was
launched
on
December
18,
1999,
carrying
five
remote
sensors.
The
most
comprehensive
EOS
sensor
is
MODIS
which
offers
a
unique
combination
of
features:
it
detects
a
wide
spectral
range
of
electromagnetic
energy;

This
chapter
describes
the
technique
of
preparing
latitude-longitude
based
data
so
that
it
can
be
imported
into
a

information
system
(GIS).
It
describes
the
steps
to
create
a
map
to
display
data
and
guides
users
through
some
basic
geographic
analyses.

articles
illustrating
how
DAAC
data
are
being
used
to
improve
live
on
Earth.
NASA's

Active
Archive
Centers
(DAAC)
located
across
the
U.S.
deliver
data
that
underpin
research
and
understanding
of
the
Earth
system.
The
DAACs
distribute

contains
information
for
both
partners
(those
with
their
own

and
associates
(those
who

(GTN)
is
to
use
small
telescopes
to
obtain
ground-based
observations
of
high-energy
objects
of
interest
to
Swift,
GLAST
(renamed
Fermi
in
2008)
and
XMM-Newton
