Aster Data Sets:
You can download free Aster data from the Global Landcover Facility at:
http://www.landcover.org or follow this link http://glcf.umiacs.umd.edu/data/aster/
You can also download Aster data through the Global Visualization Viewer (GloVis) at:
http://glovis.usgs.gov/
The scene size of Aster data is 120x150 km with bands 1-14 available at varying resolutions. Swath is 60 km
Each Aster scene comes with a shapefile that gives the footprint of that scene.
There is a related article on eXtension with a technical description of Aster data, this can be found http://www.extension.org/pages/ASTER:_Satellite_Sensor
