Gallery›Digital Commonwealth — Boston Public Library›Washington, D.C. -- A National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lockhead Electra equipped to acquire black and white, color and color infrared photography and thermal infrared imagery, was used to obtain data over the area in northern Peru which suffered the most severe earthquake damage May 31, 1970. The government of Peru had accepted the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration's offer to send one of its remote sensing aircraft to help assess damage resulting from the recent severe Peruvian earthquake. The data, in addition to helping the Peruvian government assess damage and plan reconstruction, will contribute also to the future application of the science of remote sensing to natural disasters. The color infrared delineates the edge of the slide more sharply than the color photographs.
