Abstract
The MODIS instrument on the EOS Terra Mission has completed over 2 years of successful operation. Excellent data products have been developed and a full year or more of these products are now available. Validation of these products is continuing and efforts to improve product availability and access are underway. The MODIS on the EOS Aqua satellite is projected to become operational in 2002.
