MISR images the entire day side of every orbit as Terra flies from pole to pole. What makes this instrument unique is that it has nine separate cameras--looking forward, straight downward, and aftward of the vertical--over a wide range of angles. As the spacecraft moves along its flight path, it takes only seven minutes for any single area to be imaged, in succession, at all nine angles.
