Aqua successfully performed Inclination Adjust Maneuver (IAM #33) on DOY 122 - May 1, 2012.
Loss of pointing accuracy times are 2012/122-15:11:29-15:57:49.
Terra MODIS experienced a data loss on 2012/093 15:57:34 to 16:08:15 due to an SSR PWA Anomaly. Lost data may be recoverable from Direct Broadcast data.
MCST is dedicated to the production of a high quality MODIS calibration product. This product is a precursor to every geophysical science product. MCST works for the Science Team Leader and is responsible for developing and maintaining the calibration product (L1B algorithm).
Collection 6 has been under development for a number of years. MCST, in consultation with representatives of the science disciplines, developed improvements to the calibration algorithms and methodolgies to handle known issues with the aging MODIS sensors. Summary talks of the proposed Collection 6 changes have been delivered at the MODIS science team meetings over the last few years. Please see the major changes implemented in MODIS Collection 6 LUTs as compared with Collection 5 LUTs.
