Where is Terra Now?

Satellite Terra
NASA launched the Terra satellite on December 18th, 1999. The purpose of the Terra mission is to study climate change across the globe for the next 15 years. Terra is the "flagship" of the Earth Observing System (EOS), an international study of planet Earth.

Terra will open up new ways in which Earth's lands, oceans, air, ice, and life can be studied and viewed as a whole system.
