Abstract
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instruments, currently in orbit, take radiometrically accurate pictures of the earth. These two instruments represent two types of earth observing cameras. MODIS is a cross track scanner while MISR is a pushbroom imager. An overview of the pre-launch ground optical testing equipment of MODIS and MISR is presented.
