Terra

Terra is the flagship of NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS). It was launched into orbit on December 18, 1999 and carries five instruments: the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), the Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES), and the Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT). The mission remains healthy, and continues to enable scientists to address fundamental questions in Earth sciences. Terra is currently one of the longest single-platform satellite record for studying Earth, making it one of our most valuable satellite record for examining Earth’s climate and climate change. It is also amongst the most popular NASA EOS datasets, serving not just the scientific community, but also government, commercial, and educational communities.
