Detailed Project Description
NASA has a long and successful history of developing, launching and operating Earth-observing missions that have contributed significantly to our understanding of the planet.
The purpose is to simplify the information for everyone so that it is easier to understand....
1/ (Terra )
_Launch date: December 18, 1999
_Mission Category (Eos)
_ Goals...
• Provide the first global and seasonal measurements of the earth system.
• Monitoring environmental change, identifying the fingerprint of human activity on the climate, predicting climate change and disasters, and reducing their risks from forest fires.
2/(Jason-1)
Launch date: December 7, 2001
Mission (EOS)Goals...
• Study ocean tides and Variation of ocean circulation and study of geophysical processes and their impact on the topography of the ocean surface. Determining the general circulation of the oceans.
3/(Aura .)
_Launch date: July 15,2004.
_Mission ( EOS) _Goals..
• Mission seeks to answer:
_ How is Earth’s Climate changing? And what are the processes controlling air quality?
4/ (ICESat.)
_Launch date: January 12, 2003
_ Mission (EOS)_Goals..
• Provides elevations of the polar ice sheets to improve mass balance measurements
•provide land topography and vegetation cover data.
5/(ACRIMSAT)
_Launch date: December 20, 1999
_Mission Category (EOS).
_Goals...
• Expand the Monitoring database through accuracy and tracking.
• Develop a composite TSI time series incorporating results from satellite TSI observations since 1978.
•Provide a redundant monitoring capability to prevent catastrophic loss of the TSI long-term database in the event of a SORCE/TIM experiment failure.6/(Aqua .)_ launch date: May 4, 2002_Mission Category (EOS) ._Goals ..• Enhanced understanding of water in the Earth's climate system and the global water cycle.
• Enhanced understanding of additional components of the Earth's climate system and their interactions.
• Improved weather forecasting.
7/ (Landsat7)
_Launch date: April 15, 1999.
_Mission Category: (EOS).
_Goals ...
• Provide well-calibrated radiometric and geometric data.
• Seasonal, sunlit, cloud-free coverage.
• Meet the requirements of global change research.
8/(QuiySCAT.)
_Launch date: June 19, 1999.
Mission Category: (EOS).9/(SORCE).
_Launch Date: January 25, 2003
_ Mission Category: (EOS).
_ Goals...
• measurement of solar irradiance as the dominant direct energy input to land, and ocean.
•Establish a precise data set of visible and near-infrared solar spectral irradiance (SSI) measurements suitable for future climate studies.10/(SAGE-III.)
_Launch Date: December 10, 2001.
_Mission Category. (EOS) .
_ Goals...
• provided global, long-term measurements of key components of Earth's atmosphere.
The project's goals are to make information more manageable for everyone to understand NASA's Earth observation efforts.

Space Agency Data
A large percentage of NASA sources benefited from Earth observation missions from space, where we knew the details of each mission in terms of the name, launch date, launch location, mission objectives, and many other details............
Hackathon Journey
We learned that the most important thing in science, astronomy, and the sky is the ease of access for the public to appreciate knowing the extent of the difficulty of that task and its benefits that accrue to humanity and planet Earth.
We also benefited a lot from the spirit of working together as one team under one goal. It is a very wonderful atmosphere!!!
