The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission
The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission will make the first global, space-based measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) with the precision, resolution, and coverage needed to characterize CO2 sources and sinks on regional scales. The measurement approach and instrument specifications were determined through an analysis of existing carbon cycle data and a series of observing syste...
متن کاملColumbia and Challenger: organizational failure at NASA
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)—as the global leader in all areas of spaceflight and space science— is a unique organization in terms of size, mission, constraints, complexity and motivations. NASA’s flagship endeavor—human spaceflight—is extremely risky and one of the most complicated tasks undertaken by man. It is well accepted that the tragic destruction of the Space...
متن کاملNASA is preparing a giant gravity wave observatory that will be placed in space
NASA is preparing a giant gravity wave observatory that will be placed in space. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) consists of three spacecraft forming a equilateral triangle with 5 million km armlength. Changes in the armlength of 20pm will be detected. The ends of each interferometer arm are formed by freely floating masses that must be kept inertial (i.e. free of non-gravitationa...

متن کاملFusion of NASA Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) Lidar Time Series over Mountain Forest Landscapes
Mountain ecosystems are among the most fragile environments on Earth. The availability of timely updated information on forest 3D structure would improve our understanding of the dynamic and impact of recent disturbance and regeneration events including fire, insect damage, and drought. Airborne lidar is a critical tool for monitoring forest change at high resolution but it has been little used...
