MODIS was launched on the Earth Observing System (EOS) AM-1 "Terra" mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base on December 18, 1999. Scene data from MODIS became available to the MODIS Science Team on February 24, 2000. The purpose of this paper is to provide some quantitative estimates of on-orbit performance based on information available from the Terra MODIS as of March 2000.Read More
