MAMS
Multispectral Atmospheric Mapping Sounder

The MAMS is a multispectral scanner which was developed by modifying NASA's airborne Thematic Mapping Sensor. The MAMS is capable of producing high resolution imagery in the visible and infrared channels with detailed spectral resolution. It is typically flown at an altitude of 20 km.
