TEMPO, which is a collaboration between NASA and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, is NASA's first Earth Venture-Instrument (EVI) mission. [11] [12] The EVI program is an element within the Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) program office, which is under NASA's Science Mission Directorate Earth Science Division (SMD/ESD).
Sentinel-5P carries a single instrument, the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (Tropomi). Tropomi is a spectrometer sensing ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths of light to monitor ozone, methane, formaldehyde, aerosol, carbon monoxide, NO 2 and SO 2 in the atmosphere.
MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere) is an ongoing astronomical instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite that measures global tropospheric carbon monoxide levels. It is part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS), and combined with the other payload remote sensors on the Terra satellite, the spacecraft monitors the Earth's ...

NASA's UAP study team members were announced on October 21, 2022. [11] David Spergel
The International Team of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument has received several awards for its contributions to a better understanding of the Earth system: USGS 2018 Pecora Award The Pecora award is annual to recognize individuals or teams using remote sensing in the field of Earth Science. It consider not only the scientific role but also its ...
In 2018, NASA selected a team led by David J. McComas of Princeton University to implement the mission, [3] which is currently scheduled to launch no earlier than September 2025. [2] IMAP will be a Sun-tracking spin-stabilized satellite in orbit about the Sun – Earth L1 Lagrange point with a science payload of ten instruments.
Test subject Dean Eppler, working at the rear of a science trailer during Desert RATS 2004. NASA's Desert Research and Technology Studies (Desert RATS or D-RATS) is a group of teams which perform an annual series of field trials seeking to demonstrate and test candidate technologies and systems for human exploration of the surface of the Moon, Mars, or other rocky bodies.
The team identified the anomaly to the power supply for the radar's high-power amplifier. [10] [11] On 2 September 2015, NASA announced that the amplifier failure meant that the radar could no longer return data. The science mission continues with data being returned only by the radiometer instrument. [12] SMAP's prime mission ended in June 2018.
