The Little Satellite That Could

Intended to last only 1 year, EO-1 ended up working for 17

00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:24,270
Over that time, it gathered tons of useful data and stunning images

Running on fumes, EO-1 was switched off on March 30, 2017 [switch sound]

slowly spiralling down until 2056 when it will burn up on re-entry

But EO-1's technological advances live on in NASA's current fleet of satellites
