ASTER Image Samples and Product Information

ASTER Satellite Imagery: Sample Images, Key Features, Basic Products and System Information

The ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) system began populating its archive with imagery early in 2000. We offer fully supported ASTER archive based imagery solutions to customers internationally.
