NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

A hand-held Nikon D3s camera was modified to allow near-infrared (NIR) photography from the International Space Station. Astronaut Don Pettit first initiated the camera conversion to collect imagery of the red emissions of auroras while on Expedition 30 of the ISS. Other applications include vegetation investigations for the daytime color IR images.

This collection contains thousands images of impact craters from all continents except Antarctica. The collection shows that fewer craters have been discovered in South America, Asia, Africa and Australia, perhaps because these continents have been less explored in geological terms. Craters in Europe are excluded because they are difficult to see (due to intense glacial erosion in the recent past

This collection contains several astronaut images taken from space of glaciers from all continents. The collection contains examples from higher latitudes (major glacier tongues, especially in the southern Andes collection), and lower subtropical and tropical latitudes (mountain-top glacier—even on the equator).

In Crew Earth Observations (CEO), crew members on the International Space Station (ISS) photograph the Earth from their unique point of view in low Earth orbit. Photographs record how the planet is changing over time, from human-caused changes like urban growth and reservoir construction, to natural dynamic events such as hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions. A major emphasis of CEO is to mon

Natural disasters – including such events as tropical storms, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires –effect hundreds of millions of people worldwide, and also cause billions of dollars (USD) in damage to the global economy. Remotely sensed data acquired by orbital sensor systems has emerged as a vital tool to identify the extent of damage resulting from a natural disaster, as well

Explore the capital cities around the world and the U.S. capital city collection, as captured from the International Space Station. This collection contains thousands of images of capital cities worldwide, with a separate option of viewing United States state capitals. Extreme variation in the sizes of capital cities has resulted in different lenses being needed to capture cities and some of the s

This collection contains many thousands images of volcanoes from all continents except Antarctica. This collection includes examples of volcanoes taken from different viewing angles, both vertical, where volcanoes look almost circular, to oblique, where the typical cone-like form of volcanoes shows up better. Because volcanoes are also mountains (chains of volcanoes make entire mountain ranges), c

General information: Principle Investigator for the WHITE-LIGHT CORONAGRAPH experiment was Dr. R. Macqueen, U of Colorado, Boulder, CO This experiment, located in the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) on SKYLAB, used an externally occulted coronagraph to monitor (between 4000 and 6000 A) the brightness, form, and polarization of the solar corona at radial distances between 1.5 and 6.0 solar radii. The

Multispectral imagery of the state of Alabama is available from the Geological Survey of Alabama for the time period of 1972-1984. Imagery from the Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) is available as prints or transparencies for all bands (with selected color composites avaliable) at an approximate scale of 1:1,000,000. MSS data is collected in four spectral bands ranging from 0.5 to 1.1 micromete

Gemini photography was acquired between March 23, 1965 and November 15, 1966. The images were collected as part of the Synoptic Terrain Photography and the Synoptic Weather Photography experiments during Gemini Missions III through XII. Hand-held cameras were used to obtain photographs of geologic, oceanic, and meteorologic targets. The Gemini archive consists primarily of 70-mm black and white (B

The X-ray telescope (experiment S-054) was a grazing incidence instrument with a spatial resolution of approximately 2 arc seconds on axis and had six broadband X-ray filters in the 2 - 60 Angstroem range. The instrument had a spectrographic mode and an imaging mode. Each X-ray picture is accompanied by a white-light picture which was coaligned with the X-ray image. The data were recorded on film.
