This digital archive started at the end of October 1997. The images are colour and consist of channels 1, 4 and 8. The images are resampled by a factor of 4. All quicklooks are from data received in Perth. The quicklooks show exactly what the satellite sees. The distortion is due to 3 factors: the earth's curvature and rotation and the wide field of view of the sensor. These quicklooks have had no geometric correction applied whatsoever
