9. The MODIS Rapid Response System was developed to provide daily satellite images of the Earth's landmasses in near real time. True-color, photo-like imagery and false-color imagery are available within a few hours of being collected, making the system a valuable resource for organizations...

13. Problem Resolved! We Now Have A Convenient User Interface Which Accesses Near Real Time Earth Imagery.
