When Terra launched, on the cusp of the 21 st century, the research community knew very little about how the land interacted with the atmosphere on a regional and continental scale.https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/terra-the-end-of-an-era/TerraScience - TerraAs the Flagship Earth Observing Satellite, Terra was the first satellite to look at Earth system science, collecting multiple types of data dedicated to various areas of Earth science. Scientists are able to document relationships between Earth’s systems and examine their connections.https://terra.nasa.gov/scienceTerraTerra | The EOS FlagshipTerra: The EOS Flagship Terra explores the connections between Earth’s atmosphere, land, snow and ice, ocean, and energy balance to understand Earth’s climate and to map the impact of human activity and natural disasters on communities and ecosystemshttps://terra.nasa.gov/Aqua is a NASA Earth Science satellite mission that collects data about Earth's water cycle, including ocean water, water vapor, clouds, precipitation, soil moisture, sea and land ice, and snow cover.See moreAquaAqua is a NASA Earth Science satellite mission that collects data about Earth's water cycle, including ocean water, water vapor, clouds, precipitation, soil moisture, sea and land ice, and snow cover.SourcesAqua Project ScienceAqua Earth-Observing Satellite Mission | Aqua Project ScienceAqua, Latin for water, is a NASA Earth Science satellite mission named for the large amount of information that the mission is collecting about the Earth's water cycle, including evaporation from the oceans, water vapor in the atmosphere, clouds,precipitation, soil moisture, sea ice, land ice, and snow cover on the land and ice.https://aqua.nasa.gov/Science Mission DirectorateAqua - NASA ScienceAqua is a NASA Earth Science satellite mission that is collecting data about the Earth's water cycle.https://science.nasa.gov/mission/aqua/EarthAqua | Earth - NASAAdditional variables also being measured by Aqua include radiative energy fluxes, aerosols, vegetation cover on the land, phytoplankton and dissolved organic matter in the oceans, and air, land, and water temperatures.https://earth.gsfc.nasa.gov/cryo/missions/aquaScience Mission DirectorateMission: Aqua - NASA ScienceAqua’s main goal is to improve our understanding of Earth's water cycle.
