MODIS and MISR Impacted by PWA Failure

Posted on by Tassia Owen Posted in News and Events

Two printed wire assemblies on the Terra satellite failed, resulting in lost data from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on June 28th and June 29th. The Terra Flight Operations Team, quickly worked to identify the location of the failures and initiate commands to prevent the solid state recorder from trying to use those locations. Data for both instruments is now continuing to be collected. However, data that is collected may be at a reduced quantity, but not decreased quality.
