2015: Looking Back and Looking Ahead
For NASA’s Earth Science Division, 2015 began with three successful launches—CATS to the ISS to study clouds and aerosols, SMAP to study soil moisture and freeze-thaw state from space, and NOAA’s DSCOVR mission, which includes two NASA Earth Science instruments now transmitting data from the Lagrange point 1 (L1). The Nov-Dec issue of The Earth Observer provides the latest updates on data products, milestones reached, and upcoming missions. The cover photo is a tribute to NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) mission, which celebrated its fifteenth anniversary on November 21. The image at left shows the interior of South Carolina on October 8, 2015, as observed by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite. Floodwater covered broad swaths of farmland, forests, and wetlands east of the Congaree River.
