- TRMM (6)
- The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint mission between NASA and the National Space Development Agency (NASDA) of Japan. It was designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall and the associated release of energy that helps to power the global atmospheric circulation shaping both weather and climate around the globe.
- Terra (4)
- The Terra satellite is the flagship of EOS. It will provide global data on the state of the atmosphere, land, and oceans, as well as their interactions with solar radiation and with one another. Visit this site to explore and learn about the scientific objectives of this flagship mission. This includes sites that provide information on MODIS, MISR, MOPITT, CERES and ASTER instruments.
