    Earth from Orbit 2019: How NASA Satellites #PictureEarth

    April 19th, 2019

    Music: After the Sun by Andrew Michael Britton [PRS], David Stephen Goldsmith [PRS], Andrew Skeet [PRS]Complete transcript available. This Earth Day, NASA invites you to share how you #PictureEarth. For inspiration, NASA collected some of the best and most inconic satellite images and data visualizations capture over the last year. NASA's space-based view of our planet, and the way it's changing, helps humans understand Earth better.

    Earth Observing Fleet (January 2023)

    Jan. 12th, 2023

    This animation shows the orbits of NASA's fleet of Earth observing spacecraft as of January 2023. NOAA-20, NOAA-21, GOES-14, GOES-15, GOES-16, GOES-17 are also included in this version. Spacecraft included:• Aqua• Aura• CALIPSO: Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation• CYGNSS-1: Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System 1• CYGNSS-2: Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System 2• CYGNSS-3: Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System 3• CYGNSS-4: Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System 4• CYNGSS-5: Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System 5• CYGNSS-6: Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System 6• CYGNSS-7: Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System 7• CYGNSS-8: Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System 8• Cloudsat• GOES-14• GOES-15• GOES-16 • GOES-17• GPM: Global Precipitation Measurement• GRACE-FO-1: Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow On-1• GRACE-FO-2: Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow On-2• ICESat-2• ISS: International Space Station• Landsat 8• Landsat 9• NOAA-20 • NOAA-21• OCO-2: Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2• SMAP: Soil Moisture Passive Active• Suomi NPP: Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership• Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich• SWOT• TerraThe clouds used in this version are from a high resolution GEOS model run at 10 minute time steps interpolated down to the per-frame level. The timeframe for this model does not match the date in this fleet visualization, so the clouds shown do not represent actual conditions for Jan 10, 2023.
