Science Missions for Studying Planet Earth
Current (2006) satellites used for global change studies include ACRIMSAT, Aqua, Aura, CHAMP, GOES-M, GRACE, IceSAT, Jason-1, Landsat 7, NMP EO-1, NOAA-M, SAGE-3, Sec Winds
(ADEOS-11), SORCE, Terra, TOMS-EP, and TRMM. Numerous
future missions
of NASA promise even better measurements of atmospheric, surface, and subsurface
variables of importance to global change.
NASA's Science Mission involves a variety of satellite and satellite sensors.
Satellites presently in operation for studying the Earth and influences on Earth
due to the sun and other sources outside Earth are listed under Earth-Sun
Missions.
