6. Brief about Terra/Aqua MODIS Program in GIC/AIT Terra and Aqua MODIS have been receiving and archiving at the Geoinformatics Center,AIT since May 2001 and June 2003 , respectively. MODIS Program is the collaboration between Geoinformatics Center in AIT , Yasuoka Laboratory of Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) from University of Tokyo (Japan) and Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency or GISTDA (Thailand). MODIS data that daily receive at Geoinformatics Center are about 3 – 5 GB in size for the Level0 and about 7-10 GB after processing to Level1B . MODIS data are sending through the high speed Internet of Thaisarn network to National Institute of Informatics (NII) of Japan in Level 0 and in Level 1B to GISTDA for archiving and distributing to users in Thailand MODIS Data has 36 Bands from Visible to Thermal wavelength, and 3 spatial resolutions: 250m, 500m and 1000m
