Abstract
The MODAPS SIPS processes data from both MODIS instruments on NASA's Terra and Aqua platforms. MODAPS provides an architectural framework that has spawned other production systems that are part of the LAADS DAAC. Land SIPS is one such production facility that, in late 2016, began producing and distributing NASA standard versions of the Suomi NPP VIIRS Level-1 and Land science data products. The LAADS DAAC archives and distributes these products as well as VIIRS atmosphere products (produced by the Atmosphere SIPS located at the Space Science and Engineering Center , University of Wisconsin, Madison). Another example of a MODAPS-inspired framework involves the production of MODIS and VIIRS Near-Real-Time products as part of NASA’s Land, Atmosphere Near-real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) program.
