It is a multi-spectral imaging system built and primarily operated by students and faculty at the [[University of North Dakota]]. Its purpose is to take frequent images, in visible and infrared light, of vegetated areas on the Earth and promises to deliver a greater effectiveness for in-season agriculture applications research and operational decision support than current satellite systems such as [[Landsat]].<ref name="agcam">{{cite web|url=http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/science/experiments/AgCam.html|title=Agricultural Camera (AgCam) factsheet|date=2009-02-27|access-date=2009-03-21|publisher=NASA|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090404103423/http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/science/experiments/AgCam.html|archive-date=2009-04-04}}</ref>
