Welcome to the world's finest collection of satellite maps and posters produced with constantly updated, high resolution imagery, aerial and astronaut photography.
Terra Prints Inc is America's premier producer of satellite wall art and maps utilizing NASA's ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) sensor, a high resolution imaging instrument flying on the Terra satellite. Our distinctive image processing techniques produce remarkable images available nowhere else on the web. We offer a rapidly growing collection of very recent imagery over cities, lakes, islands and national parks around the world.
All TerraPrints.com products are printed on archival quality, luster finish paper. We also offer FREE SHIPPING AND FREE INSURANCE on all retail web orders in the United States and Territories.
ASTER is one of five Earth-observing instruments launched December 18, 1999, on NASA's Terra satellite. The instrument was built by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. A joint U.S./Japan science team is responsible for validation and calibration of the instrument and the data products.
The broad spectral coverage and high spectral resolution of ASTER provides scientists in numerous disciplines with critical information for surface mapping, and monitoring of dynamic conditions and temporal change. Example applications are: monitoring glacial advances and retreats; monitoring potentially active volcanoes; identifying crop stress; determining cloud morphology and physical properties; wetlands evaluation; thermal pollution monitoring; coral reef degradation; surface temperature mapping of soils and geology; and measuring surface heat balance.
The U.S. science team is located at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The Terra mission is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
