MISR footprint over the earth.

This computer-generated image shows the EOS AM-1 spacecraft, with the MISR instrument on board, orbiting the Earth. Direction of flight is toward the lower left. The actual locations imaged by the 9 cameras, each with 4 color bands, along the Earth's surface are illustrated here with translucent surfaces. The background star field is also realistic.
