APS




SVS >> APS

Movie ID Title
This segment provides an introduction to aerosols- their varied sources, brief lifetimes, and erratic behavior.  Glory’s APS will help researchers determine the global distribution of aerosol particles.  This unique instrument will unravel the microphysical properties of aerosols, and will shed light on the chemical composition of natural and anthropogenic aerosols and clouds. 10525 Hello Crud
This episode explores the complexity of atmospheric aerosols- how they impact climate and how researchers study them. Glory’s Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor and Cloud Camera will provide an unprecedented data set for helping scientists understand aerosol particles.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10523 The Particle Puzzle
Space is a harsh environment, and building a space-bound satellite is no small feat!  Here’s a look at how NASA engineers get the Glory mission off the ground…and safely into space!<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10522 The Rough Road to Space
Glory is a unique research satellite designed to orbit the Earth and achieve two major goals.  Glory’s first goal is to collect data on the properties of aerosols and black carbon in the Earth's atmosphere and climate system; its second goal is to collect data on solar irradiance for Earth’s long-term climate record.  This seven-minute video introduces Glory’s science objectives, people, and instruments, and provides an overview of the Glory mission.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10521 The Road to Glory
