Stromboli from the air and from spaceThe four following scanner images were recorded by a «Wide Angle Optoelectronic Stereo Scanner» (WAOSS) during a test flight on 16 July 1996. A similar scanner was aboard the ill-fated Russian Mars probe Mars'96 which crashed into Pacific Ocean on 17. November1996.
