Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission One lander, seen here, will carry 10 NASA science and technology instruments to the Moon’s near side when it launches from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center ...
NASA renamed the spacecraft Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) in 2003 in an attempt to regain support for the project, [3] but the mission was formally terminated by NASA in 2005. [ 11 ] In November 2008, funded by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Air Force , the spacecraft was removed from storage and ...
A spacecraft has beamed back some of the best close-up photos ever of Mercury’s north pole. The European and Japanese robotic explorer swooped as close as 183 miles (295 kilometers) above ...
GOES-16, -17: Active NASA 2016 monitors weather for NOAA. GRACE-FO: Active NASA 2018 [13] [14] Gravity and climate. The mission will track changes in global sea levels, glaciers, and ice sheets, as well as large lake and river water levels, and soil moisture. [15] GOSAT: Active JAXA 2009 Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite.
NOAA's GOES-R Series of satellites is designed to improve the forecasts of weather, ocean, and environment by providing faster and more detailed data, real-time images of lightning, and advanced monitoring of solar activities and space weather. GOES-17 can collect three times more data at four times image resolution, and scan the planet five ...
NASA plans to bring the two Starliner astronauts back to Earth, along with their two space station crewmates, around March 19-20, shortening their long-extended stay in orbit by about two weeks ...
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is by far the most powerful observatory ever launched into space.. Even Webb's very first images show why NASA spent 25 years and $10 billion. The Hubble Space ...
The GOES system uses geosynchronous equatorial satellites that, since the launch of SMS-1 in 1974, have been a basic element of U.S. weather monitoring and forecasting. The procurement, design, and manufacture of GOES satellites is overseen by NASA. NOAA is the official provider of both GOES terrestrial data and GOES space weather data.
