every 10 ten days. Allows
scientists to calculate speed and direction of ocean currents, forecast
weather, analyze climate change, provide weather reports to fishing
fleets, and much more. (videos) |

Aqua, Latin for water, is a NASA Earth Science satellite mission named for the large amount of information that the mission will be collecting about the Earth's water cycle. + View site Aura Mission A mission dedicated to the health of Earth's atmosphere. + View site CALIPSO CALIPSO will provide the next generation of climate observations, drastically improving our ability to predict climate change and to study the air we breathe. + View site CloudSat CloudSat's cloud-profiling radar is 1,000 times more sensitive than typical weather radar and can detect clouds and distinguish between cloud particles and precipitation. + View site Cluster ESA/NASA Mission The four Cluster spacecraft carry out 3D measurements in the Earth's Magnetosphere. + View site Earth Observing-1 As the first New Millennium Program Earth Observing Mission, EO-1 has validated advanced land imaging and unique spacecraft technologies. + View site Earth Probe Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (EP-TOMS) Earth Probe Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (EP-TOMS), along with the Ozone Monitoring Instrument onboard AURA, are currently the only NASA spacecraft on orbit specializing in ozone retrieval. + View site Fast Auroral Snapshot Explorer (FAST) FAST, the second mission in NASA's Small Explorer Satellite Program (SMEX), is a satellite designed to study Earth's aurora. + View site Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) GOES-N is the latest in a series of satellites that provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric "triggers" for severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms, and hurricanes. + View site Geotail Mission A mission to study the tail of Earth's magnetosphere. + View site Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment The twin satellites are making detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field to learn more about gravity and Earth's natural systems. + View site Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) IMAGE is a mission to study the global response of the magnetosphere to the changes in solar wind. + View site Ice Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite (ICEsat) Mission The ICESat mission will provide multi-year elevation data regarding ice sheet mass balance as well as cloud property information, especially for stratospheric clouds common over polar areas. + View site NOAA-M Environmental Satellite A new environmental satellite that will improve weather forecasting and monitor environmental events around the world. + View site Polar Mission The Polar Mission is to obtain data from both high- and low-altitude perspectives of the polar region of geospace. + View site Skylab America's first space station and orbital science and engineering laboratory. + View site Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX) Mission SAMPEX Studies the energy,composition, and charge states of particles from supernova explosions in the distant reaches of the galaxy, from the heart of solar flares, and from the depths of nearby interstellar space. + View site Terra Terra is a multi-national, multi-disciplinary mission involving partnerships with the aerospace agencies of Canada and Japan and is an important part of NASA’s Science Mission, helping us better understand and protect our home planet. + View site Thermospere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics Mission (TIMED) The TIMED mission is studying the influences of the Sun and humans on the least explored region of Earth's atmosphere. + View site Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall. + View site Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) was launched in 1991 by the Space Shuttle Discovery and orbits at an altitude of 375 miles. Designed to operate for three years, six of its ten instruments continue to function, measuring ozone and chemical compounds found in the ozone layer. + View site Wind Mission A mission to investigate the solar wind and its impact on the near-Earth environment. + View site |

Heh, this website doesn't seem to have of the basic info. There doesn't seem to be a map of where the moorings are located, a picture of the mooring, etc. Heck I can't even find a list of the number of moorings.
Am I right in that this website is lacking or am I just blind?
