Earth Observation System (EOS) “terra” and “aqua” are the actual satellites… Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) ‘Terra's’ orbit around the Earth is timed so
that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning
‘Aqua’ passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon

MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer )detectors measure 36 spectral bands
between 0.405 and 14.385 µm viewing swath width of 2,330 km and
views the entire surface of the Earth every one to two days
acquires data at three spatial resolutions -- 250m, 500m, and 1,000m

The advantage of 12 bit data…. Higher digital resolution
Higher display resolution….
Except that humans can ‘only’ discriminate between 10 million colors

ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer)The spatial resolution varies with
wavelength: 15 m in the visible and near-infrared 30 m in the short wave infrared 90 m in the thermal infrared (TIR).
Each ASTER scene covers an area of 60 x 60 km.
