Nasa imaging campaign now in India
CHENNAI: India will now be one of the many countries where Nasa's airborne hyperspectral imaging campaign will take place which will closely monitor various changes taking place in the earth's atmosphere and capture high resolution images through the spectrometer developed by Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Alok Chaterjee, scientist at the Joint Propulsion Laboratory, CalTech and Interface Manager for NISAR, who visited the IIT Madras campus on Monday , said the campaign will begin in December and several target areas in India have already been identified from where the campaign will be launched. The Airborne Visual Imaging Infrared Spectrometer will collect data that can help in monitoring changes on the earth's atmosphere such as weather or environmental hazards. The primary goal of this activity is to demonstrate important science and applications research.
