JSC2000-E-02639 (12 February 2000) --- This high resolution image shows the area which includes Las Cruces, New Mexico, indicated as Image 2 on the strip in JSC2000-E-2638. The speckled effect, inherent in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, hinders the evaluation of details, both structural and radiometric, according to scientists analyzing this imagery. See JSC2000-E-02640 for the "after" image following application of advanced methods for information extraction. All X-SAR imagery and related charts and maps are provided by DLR, Germany's national aerospace resource center as well as the national space agency.
