| Abstract: | Visible and infra-red (IR) channel data of KALPANA imager received at Bopal Earth Station at Space Application Centre has
captured the Moon at several times. The range of Moon surface brightness in the visible channel image is compared with that
of similar size Earth scene. The increase in brightness due to a closer Moon on a particular day is also seen in the histogram
of the surface brightness. The brightness temperature map from the IR channel data of the Moon is also constructed. The analysis
of the Moon images has a potential for monitoring degradation of the sensor optics over time. |
