The Airborne Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (AirMISR) is a passive remote sensor with a pushbroom design, developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). AirMISR captures visible and infrared images similar to those from the MISR instrument on the Terra satellite. It gathers data using a single camera at nine viewing angles and operates in four spectral bands: 443 nm, 555 nm, 670 nm, and 865 nm. AirMISR has approximately an 11 km swath width and an instantaneous field of view of 7 m x 6 m at nadir. It is usually flown on the NASA ER-2 aircraft due to its high operating altitude of 20 km.
