Terra/ASTER Deep Space Calibration and Lunar Calibration
At present Terra/ASTER is operated successfully. On 3/26 and 4/15 (JST) Deep Space Calibration (DSC) and Lunar Calibration (LC) were conducted for the purpose of performance assessment study and the improvement in radiometric correction modulus for each sensor on Terra.
ASTER normally observes the earth and during DSC and LC the ASTER sensor was rotated in the pitch direction to observe Deep Space and Lunar.
Here are the some of the images captured by ASTER, which observed Deep Space and Lunar.
The observation of the obtained data is on going.

(1) Deep Space Calibration image, band 10 to 14. (Without correction) (The earth limb: No VNIR and SWIR images of the limb were captured because it is night iamge)
(2) Lunar Calibration image, band 1,4,and 10. (Without correction)
(3) Lunar Calibration 3 images: band 1-2-3N, band 4-6-8, and band 10-12-14. (After simple correction, false color)
In (1) image, the data is over sampling.
In (2), the moon looks like oblong because of over sampling.
