Terra | The EOS Flagship Terra: 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 ecosystems
Multimedia - Terra As the Flagship Earth Observing Satellite, Terra was the first satellite to look at Earth system science with five sensors dedicated to observing the land, water, and atmosphere By seeing Earth from the same vantage point, but 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
Mission - Terra Terra observations reveal humanity’s impact on the planet and provide crucial data about natural hazards like fire and volcanoes See Terra science Terra is an international mission carrying instruments from the United States, Japan, and Canada
MODIS | Terra Terra Operational Changes and Data Updates Over the past three years, the Terra mission has performed multiple maneuvers that have led to changes in the satellite’s consistent 20+ year orbit* Today, Terra continues slowly drifting to an increasingly earlier overpass time and lower altitude While the orbital changes have had little to no impact on instrument data collection or quality, data
MOPITT | Terra Terra, which carries five instruments, launched in December 1999 on a six-year mission designed to study the planet’s land, ocean, atmosphere and biosphere simultaneously as the flagship mission of NASA’s Earth Observing system Terra is a partnership between the United States, Canada and Japan
ASTER | Terra The Terra Project fully expects the Terra platform and all five instruments to operate past 2026 allowing them to maintain their status as leaders in Earth science data production Terra’s long-term data record will continue to contribute to the Earth Science Division’s key science questions: How is the global Earth system changing?
Celebrating 25 Years of Terra 25 Years of Terra @ 2024 AGU Annual Meeting The week prior to the GSFC Visitor’s Center event, several members of the Terra mission community presented on 25 Years of Terra at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Washington, D C For more information, and a list of oral and poster presentations, visit the 25 Years of Terra @ AGU 2024, linked here!

About Terra Current systems issues: None Processed Terra data are available through several NASA data centers Current life expectancy: Terra has far exceeded its design life and has a strong chance of operating successfully into the early 2020s Terra began drifting in February of 2020 Read more about Terra’s drifting or see key dates below Key dates
MODIS - Terra With its sweeping 2,330-km-wide viewing swath, MODIS sees every point on our world every 1-2 days in 36 discrete spectral bands Consequently, MODIS tracks a wider array of the earth’s vital signs than any other Terra sensor For instance, the sensor measures the percent of the planet’s surface that is covered by clouds almost every day
