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
2021 | 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?
Data - Terra Terra’s five instruments produce 83 core data products which are distributed through the Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LPDAAC), the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC), Ocean Color Web, Level 1 and Atmosphere Archive and Distribution System, and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Each data set is specialized and many work in concert with other data products
ASTER | Terra This perspective image of a complex volcanic landscape in the Andean mountain range was assembled from data acquired by ASTER on April 9, 2003 ASTER produces images using infrared, red, and green wavelengths of light Vegetated areas range in color from red to pink, snow is white, water is black, and bare rock is earth-toned The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer
