Earth Explorer Missions

Earth Explorer Missions are specialized scientific satellites launched by NASA to study our planet’s environment, climate, and natural resources. These missions gather detailed data on Earth's atmosphere, land, ice, and oceans, helping scientists understand changes over time. Equipped with advanced sensors and instruments, Earth Explorers provide crucial information for weather prediction, natural disaster management, and environmental protection. Each mission focuses on specific questions about Earth's processes, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the planet’s systems and helping inform policy decisions for sustainability and resilience.
