Abstract :
This paper presents the measurement results of how well the thirty-six MODIS bands are registered with respect to each other on the Earth at nadir. Test data show that the SRCA provides consistent results. Excluding FPA shifts, the repeatability on-orbit for four tests is within ±0.01 km. Results indicate that the worst band-to-band registration is ±0.11 km in along-scan direction (perpendicular to the satellite ground track) and ±0.17 km along-track
