Visible Imaging System (VIS)
Current Image

Due to the End Of Mission for the Polar Spacecraft, the VIS was powered down for the final time about noon, 16 April 2008. This was the last Low Resolution image aquired for the mission spanning over 12 years.

This Current Image is generated from data collected by the University of Iowa's Visible Imaging Investigations (VII) Visible Imaging System (VIS) on board the NASA Polar spacecraft. It was designed and built by the Particles and Imaging research group from The University of Iowa. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Kent L. Ackerson, the Project Scientist is Dr. John B. Sigwarth, and the Project Manager is Mr. Gregory L. Pickett.

All data and images are provided courtesy of Dr. Louis A. Frank at the University of Iowa.

Any use of these images or data beyond viewing them directly from this WWW page must include this acknowledgement to Dr. Louis A. Frank, The University of Iowa and NASA.

Previous Images

All of the Current Images that were collected PREVIOUS TO TODAY are also available on-line (for as long as our storage capacity allows). They are sorted by the operational year and week on which they were collected and produced.

Survey images generated from all the raw data are being produced and made available.
