The alignment of the telescope across all of Webb’s instruments can be seen in a series of images that captures the observatory’s full field of view. Featured in this video are engineering images demonstrating the sharp focus of each instrument. For this test, Webb pointed at part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, providing a dense field of hundreds of thousands of stars across all the observatory’s sensors. The sizes and positions of the images shown depict the relative arrangement of each of Webb’s instruments in the telescope’s focal plane, each pointing at a slightly offset part of the sky relative to one another. Webb’s three imaging instruments are NIRCam (images shown here at a wavelength of 2 microns), NIRISS (image shown here at 1.5 microns), and MIRI (shown at 7.7 microns, a longer wavelength revealing emission from interstellar clouds as well as starlight). NIRSpec is a spectrograph rather than imager but can take images, such as the 1.1 micron image shown here, for calibrations and target acquisition. The dark regions visible in parts of the NIRSpec data are due to structures of its microshutter array, which has several hundred thousand controllable shutters that can be opened or shut to select which light is sent into the spectrograph. Lastly, Webb’s Fine Guidance Sensor tracks guide stars to point the observatory accurately and precisely; its two sensors are not generally used for scientific imaging but can take calibration images such as those shown here. This image data is used not just to assess image sharpness but also to precisely measure and calibrate subtle image distortions and alignments between the instrument sensors as part of Webb’s overall instrument calibration process. || ", "hits": 82 }, { "id": 4982, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4982/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2022-04-21T09:00:00-04:00", "title": "Complete 2021 Hurricane Season", "description": "This special version of the 2021 Hurricane Season data visualization uses all the below layers to show the entire 2021 Hurricane Season, but elements of it were sped up in post production to accelerate the data when no hurricanes are present.

The result is an image mosaic of 18 randomly organized dots of starlight, the product of Webb's unaligned mirror segments all reflecting light from the same star back at Webb's secondary mirror and into NIRCam's detectors.What looks like a simple image of blurry starlight now becomes the foundation to align and focus the telescope in order for Webb to deliver unprecedented views of the universe this summer. Over the next month or so, the team will gradually adjust the mirror segments until the 18 images become a single star. || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-h264.00150_print.jpg (1024x576) [110.1 KB] || Webb_First_Star-OTE_print.jpg (1024x576) [232.8 KB] || Webb_First_Star-OTE.jpg (4608x2592) [1.3 MB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-h264.00150_searchweb.png (320x180) [83.9 KB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-h264.00150_web.png (320x180) [83.9 KB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-h264.00150_thm.png (80x40) [6.7 KB] || Webb_First_Star-OTE_searchweb.png (320x180) [64.4 KB] || Webb_First_Star-OTE_web.png (320x180) [64.4 KB] || Webb_First_Star-OTE_thm.png (80x40) [21.3 KB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-h264.mp4 (1920x1080) [220.5 MB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-h264.webm (1920x1080) [22.4 MB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-prores-1080p.mov (4608x2592) [13.6 GB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-4k-prores.mov (4608x2592) [13.6 GB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-v4-closecap.en_US.srt [4.3 KB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-v4-closecap.en_US.vtt [4.3 KB] || Webb_Mirror_Alignment_Update-4k-h264.mp4 (4608x2592) [222.5 MB] || ", "hits": 21 }, { "id": 14038, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14038/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2022-01-31T11:00:00-05:00", "title": "Cinematic Science Helps Researchers Explore Data From NASA’s CAMP2Ex Field Campaign", "description": "Music: Relentless Data by Jay Price [UPM] Complete transcript available. || Dashboard.jpg (1920x1080) [846.4 KB] || Dashboard_searchweb.png (320x180) [80.7 KB] || Dashboard_thm.png (80x40) [6.9 KB] || 14038_Dashboard.mov (1920x1080) [1.8 GB] || 14038_Dashboard.mp4 (1920x1080) [131.7 MB] || 14038_Dashboard_VX-319370.webm (960x540) [31.1 MB] || Dashboard.en_US.srt [1.7 KB] || Dashboard.en_US.vtt [1.6 KB] || ", "hits": 33 }, { "id": 31172, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31172/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2022-01-13T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "First Light from Landsat 9", "description": "The first image collected by Landsat 9, on Oct. 31, 2021, shows remote coastal islands and inlets of the Kimberly region of Western Australia.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. As Parker Solar Probe flew through the corona, its WISPR instrument captured images.The Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe (WISPR) is the only imaging instrument aboard the spacecraft. WISPR looks at the large-scale structure of the corona and solar wind before the spacecraft flies through it. About the size of a shoebox, WISPR takes images from afar of structures like coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, jets and other ejecta from the Sun. These structures travel out from the Sun and eventually overtake the spacecraft, where the spacecraft’s other instruments take in-situ measurements. WISPR helps link what’s happening in the large-scale coronal structure to the detailed physical measurements being captured directly in the near-Sun environment.To image the solar atmosphere, WISPR uses the heat shield to block most of the Sun’s light, which would otherwise obscure the much fainter corona. Specially designed baffles and occulters reflect and absorb the residual stray light that has been reflected or diffracted off the edge of the heat shield or other parts of the spacecraft.WISPR uses two cameras with radiation-hardened Active Pixel Sensor CMOS detectors. These detectors are used in place of traditional CCDs because they are lighter and use less power. They are also less susceptible to effects of radiation damage from cosmic rays and other high-energy particles, which are a big concern close to the Sun. The camera’s lenses are made of a radiation hard BK7, a common type of glass used for space telescopes, which is also sufficiently hardened against the impacts of dust.WISPR was designed and developed by the Solar and Heliophysics Physics Branch at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. (principal investigator Russell Howard), which will also develop the observing program. || ", "hits": 634 }, { "id": 13987, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13987/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2021-11-05T17:00:00-04:00", "title": "Landsat 9 First Light Images", "description": "The first data from Landsat 9, of Australia's Kimberley Coast in Western Australia, shows off the capabilities of the two instruments on the spacecraft.

Since the launch of the first Landsat satellite in 1972, the mission has gathered and archived more than 8 million images of our home planet’s terrain, including crop fields and sprawling cities, forests and shrinking glaciers. These data-rich images are free and publicly available, leading to scientific discoveries and informed resource management.Landsat 9 will carry two instruments that largely replicate the instruments on Landsat 8: the Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2). OLI-2 and TIRS-2 are optical sensors that detect 11 wavelengths of visible, near infrared, shortwave infrared, and thermal infrared light as it is reflected or emitted from the planet’s surface. Data from these instruments are processed and stored at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota—where decades worth of data from all of the Landsat satellites are stored and made available for free to the public.The Landsat mission, a partnership between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has provided the longest continuous record of Earth’s land surfaces from space. The consistency of Landsat’s land-cover data from sensor to sensor and year to year makes it possible to trace land-cover changes from 1972 to the present, and it will continue into the future with Landsat 9. With better technology than ever before, Landsat 9 will enhance and extend the data record to the 50-year mark and beyond. || ", "hits": 60 }, { "id": 13712, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13712/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2020-11-30T11:00:00-05:00", "title": "Landsat 9: Continuing the Legacy series", "description": "Five decades ago, NASA and the US Geological Society launched a satellite to monitor Earth’s land from space.

Since then, there have been eight Landsats and we’re preparing to launch number nine.The Landsat legacy stretches far and wide. Using visible and infrared light, Landsat helps track the health of crops, shows ocean pollution, and tracks coral reefs, icebergs and more.

Astronauts using custom-designed tools performed challenging spacewalks on five servicing missions from 1993 to 2009 to keep Hubble operating so that it could change our fundamental understanding of the universe.Join John and EVA engineer Ed Rezac in this episode of Hubble Tool Time to learn about the difficult job of replacing Hubble’s Rate Sensor Units on Servicing Mission 3A in 1999 and the resulting tool created to make the job easier. In addition to enabling Hubble's scientific discoveries, the tools developed by teams at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and tested in collaboration with the Johnson Space Center furthered NASA's human exploration capabilities. These tools and the knowledge gleaned from the Hubble servicing missions are used today by astronauts on the International Space Station, and will be critical to NASA's future crewed missions to the Moon and Mars.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Katrina Jackson.Music credits: \"Wine On It\" by Kevin Blanc [SACEM]; KTSA Publishing SACEM; Gum Tapes; Killer Tracks Production Music. \"Breakthrough\" by Donn Wilerson [BMI]; Killer Tracks BMI; Killer Tracks Production Music. || ", "hits": 27 }, { "id": 13160, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13160/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2019-04-03T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Hubble Archive - Servicing Mission 4, STS-125", "description": "Hubble's fifth and final servicing mission, Servicing Mission 4, launched on May 11, 2009 on Space Shuttle Atlantis as part of the STS-125 mission.During SM4, two new scientific instruments were installed – the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3).

While the Sun produced high levels of extreme ultraviolet light, SORCE actually detected a dip in total irradiance during the month’s intense solar activity. A possible explanation for this observation is that over the active regions — where solar flares originate — the darkening effect of sunspots is greater than the brightening effect of the flare’s extreme ultraviolet emissions. As a result, the total solar irradiance suddenly dropped during the flare events. Scientists gather long-term solar irradiance data in order to understand not only our dynamic star, but also its relationship to Earth’s environment and climate. NASA is ready to launch the Total Spectral solar Irradiance Sensor-1, or TSIS-1, this December to continue making total solar irradiance measurements. || LARGE_MP4-SORCE_TSI_large.00300_print.jpg (1024x576) [81.7 KB] || LARGE_MP4-SORCE_TSI_large.00300_searchweb.png (320x180) [48.6 KB] || LARGE_MP4-SORCE_TSI_large.00300_web.png (320x180) [48.6 KB] || LARGE_MP4-SORCE_TSI_large.00300_thm.png (80x40) [4.5 KB] || SORCE_TSI_Prores.mov (1920x1080) [183.3 MB] || PRORES_B-ROLL-SORCE_TSI_prores.mov (1280x720) [90.0 MB] || YOUTUBE_1080-SORCE_TSI_youtube_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [26.4 MB] || APPLE_TV-SORCE_TSI_appletv.m4v (1280x720) [5.5 MB] || NASA_TV-SORCE_TSI.mpeg (1280x720) [39.8 MB] || LARGE_MP4-SORCE_TSI_large.mp4 (1920x1080) [12.3 MB] || LARGE_MP4-SORCE_TSI_large.webm (1920x1080) [995.7 KB] || NASA_PODCAST-SORCE_TSI_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [4.6 MB] || ", "hits": 37 }, { "id": 12754, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12754/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2017-10-31T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Landsat sensors: pushbroom vs whiskbroom", "description": "Landsat collects images in long narrow strips called “swaths.” Each swath is 185 kilometers (115 miles) wide and is 2,752 kilometers (1,710 miles) from the next adjacent swath taken that day. It takes 16 days for the swaths to overlap enough to image the whole Earth.Previous Landsat sensors swept back and forth across the swath like a whisk broom to collect data. The sensor looked at a calibration source at the end of every row, which means that measurements were consistent from orbit to orbit. But this sensor design requires fast-moving parts, which are more likely to break.—and which did on Landsat 7.In contrast, the instruments on Landsat 8 view across the entire swath at once, building strips of data like a pushbroom. This approach requires no moving parts and gives the sensor detectors greater dwell time. The pushbroom instrument is smaller and lighter than previous whisk broom instruments, but its calibration is much more complex given the large number of detectors.“It was a natural step to evolve to a pushbroom sensor. The technology was proven on other satellites, and we knew we could get better accuracy. The pushbroom has no moving parts. It is a newer and more reliable technology.” explains Terry Arvidson, senior project engineer.For more information on the future of Landsat instruments, read https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/landsat-9/instruments/. || ", "hits": 408 }, { "id": 12753, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12753/", "result_type": "Animation", "release_date": "2017-10-26T08:00:00-04:00", "title": "James Webb Space Telescope Laser-Focused Sight", "description": "After launch, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will use a process called wavefront sensing and control to perfect its vision in orbit.

IMERG estimates precipitation from a combination of space-borne passive microwave sensors, including the GMI microwave sensor onboard the GPM core satellite, and geostationary IR (infrared) data. The animation shows Nate moving rapidly northward through the Gulf of Mexico on the 7th. Nate's rapid movement from 20 to as much as 26 mph did not allow the storm much time to strengthen despite being over very warm waters and in a relatively low wind shear environment. Nate reached a peak intensity of 90 mph sustained winds, which it maintained while passing over the Gulf of Mexico, but it did not intensify any further before making landfall. The animation also shows two 3D flyby's of Nate captured by the GPM core satellite as it overflew the storm just before landfall at 22:58 UTC (5:58 CDT) on Saturday October 7th and again at 08:42 UTC (3:42 CDT) on Sunday October 8th soon after Nate's second landfall. The 3D precipitation tops (shown in blue) are from GPM's DPR as are the vertical cross sections of precipitation intensity. The first overpass shows that Nate is a very asymmetric storm with most of the rainbands associated with Nate located north and east of the center. With it's rapid movement, Nate was unable to fully develop and lacks the classic ring of intense thunderstorms associated a fully developed eyewall.

Research into precise details of Earth's energy budget is vital for understanding how the planet's climate may be changing, as well as variabilities in solar energy output. NASA’s (The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) CERES and NASA's Total and Spectral solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS-1), missions play key roles in our continued understanding of Earth’s Energy Budget.NASA’s TSIS helps scientists keep a close watch on the sun’s energy input to Earth. Various satellites have captured a continuous record of this solar energy input since 1978. TSIS-1 sensors advance previous measurements, enabling scientists to study the sun's natural influence on Earth's ozone layer, atmospheric circulation, clouds, and ecosystems. These observations are essential for a scientific understanding of the effects of solar variability on the Earth system. TSIS-1 makes two key measurements: total solar irradiance, or TSI, the sun's total energy input into Earth, and solar spectral irradiance (SSI), the distribution of the sun's energy input across ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths of light. TSI measurements are needed to quantify the solar variations in the total amount of energy input to the Earth. SSI measurements are also vital because different wavelengths of light are absorbed by different parts of the atmosphere.For more than 20 years, NASA Langley's CERES (System) instruments have measured the solar energy reflected by Earth, the heat the planet emits, and the role of clouds in that process.

Scientists have observed the Earth’s lights at night for more than four decades using military satellites and astronaut photography; however, the view became significantly clearer after using satellite data from a low-light sensor onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, launched in October 2011. The satellite’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) “day-night band” can observe dim signals such as city lights (down to the scale of an isolated highway lamp), wildfires, gas flares, auroras, and reflected moonlight during nighttime hours. Swaths of VIIRS data are processed to find moonless, non-cloudy pixels. These “good” pixels are averaged at each location to produce a global image that depicts the Earth’s lights at night. Each pixel shows roughly 0.46 miles (742 meters) across.The top image, centered on France, is a composite of VIIRS data acquired between October 1, 2014 and April 30, 2015. Paris is visible just above the center of the image. North of Paris and across the English Channel (black), London is visible. The relatively dim Alps, characterized by their crescent-shaped geography, are speckled with lights from car headlights and lit roadways. South of the Alps several major cities in Italy are visible with the brightest spot being Milan. Rome is visible in the bottom right of the image. Strings and clusters of light out at sea are produced by ship lights. The second image, centered on France, is a composite of data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) acquired during 2013. Each pixel shows roughly 1.86 miles (3 kilometers) across. The DMSP OLS night-lights data are available starting in 1992, and provide the ability to measure changes in light extent and locations over the past two decades.The image of Australia at night is a composite of VIIRS data acquired between January 1, 2015 and July 31, 2015. Major cities such as Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth are well lit along the coast. Alice Springs—situated in the geographic center of Australia—is some 1,500 kilometers from the nearest major city. Transient lights—those visible in only one monthly image—are colored red. These lights are mainly from brushfires burning during the dry season (May-July) in Australia’s Northern Territory and northern parts of Western Australia. Aside from fires, some of the transient lights could be attributed to natural gas flares, lightning, oil drilling, or mining operations. || ", "hits": 103 }, { "id": 4387, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4387/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-10-13T17:00:00-04:00", "title": "El Niño: Disrupting the Marine Food Web", "description": "This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond.

Often nicknamed \"the bad boy of weather,\" who is this guy?A long time ago, fishermen off the west coast of South America — one of the world's most productive fisheries — noticed that some years the fish disappeared. This was especially noticeable around Christmas time — giving it the name El Niño, which means Christ child in Spanish. Today we know why El Niño happens — but knowing when it will happen is still a challenge. Normally, winds blow from east to west along the equator, pushing surface water westward. As the water moves away from the east, nutrient-rich deeper ocean water rises to fill the void (called upwelling.) When nutrients rise into sunlight, they cause blooms of tiny plants called phytoplankton. These plants feed the entire marine food web from small fish such as sardines to bigger fish, sea birds, and marine mammals. When an El Niño develops, the normal east-to-west winds die and warm surface water from the west Pacific moves eastward. This stops the upwelling in the east. Without the supply of deeper, nutrient-rich water, less phytoplankton bloom and the fisheries collapse. From satellites in space we see how these changes impact the ocean’s color. Normally, the ocean looks more green along the equator (image below, left.) During El Niño, the ocean looks more blue and less green because there is less plant life (images below, right.) While this color change is subtle to our eyes, it means life or death for the species that depend upon plankton for food. Some animals starve (e.g. sea lions, marine iguanas, Galapagos penguins) while others move away to look for food elsewhere. || ", "hits": 33 }, { "id": 4365, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4365/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-09-30T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Airborne in the Arctic", "description": "This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond.

After extensive pre-flight configurations, our science payload is primed for our eight-hour mission. Without delay, the engines’ roar becomes a howl as we hurtle down the nearly three-mile stretch of runway until that near-weightless moment we become airborne. Our mission into the clouds of the arctic is underway.Clouds are important drivers of Earth’s climate by regulating the amount of sunlight that is absorbed at the ground versus what is reflected back into space. You’ve probably experienced this firsthand when sitting outside on a hot and sunny summer day when a fluffy cumulus cloud crosses the sky between you and the sun. The respite that you feel from the heat of the sun’s rays means that that energy is no longer reaching you at the surface. At the lower latitudes where most of us live, these thick, stratiform and cumuliform clouds have a cooling effect because the white cloud reflects the sun’s energy back to space instead of being absorbed by the dark brown soil, green trees and plants, or the blue ocean waters. The story is much more complicated at the high latitudes where the frozen ice surface is also very bright white and reflective. Under these conditions, clouds can actually have a net warming effect because they reflect a similar or smaller amount of the incoming sunlight, but also trap more of the outgoing heat radiation and keep it close to the surface (like a blanket.)The exact balance between heating and cooling depends on the cloud properties - droplet number and size - and where the clouds are located in the atmosphere (high or low altitude as well as overlying dark water or bright ice.) Unraveling these effects is important for understanding how the Earth’s radiation balance and climate exist now and how they are likely to change in the future.Differentiating the impacts of low-level clouds versus Arctic sea ice on sunlight from space is hard, because to a passive satellite sensor orbiting many hundreds of kilometers above the Earth’s surface, both the ice and cloud look very similar. To best visualize this system, we must go to the Arctic with scientific research aircraft to measure the cloud properties just below, above, and within the clouds themselves. This was precisely the motivation behind the NASA Arctic Radiation – IceBridge Sea and Ice Experiment (ARISE), which was conducted in the Alaskan Arctic from September-October, 2014.ARISE carried out 14 science flights aboard the NASA Wallops Flight Facility C-130 Hercules aircraft, which was outfitted with a comprehensive suite of scientific instrumentation including a laser altimeter for measuring the sea ice surface properties, in situ cloud probes, and a sun photometer and two radiometers (SSFR, BBR) for measuring the surface, aerosol, and cloud radiative properties. An example 8-hour flight track is shown for the September 7th science flight in the Google Map below. The aircraft was based at Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks, AK, and began each flight by transiting approximately 2 hours north to the vicinity of the ice edge in the Beaufort Sea. On the 7th, the aircraft flew a series of parallel, horizontal legs to cover a single satellite grid box of the overflying NASA Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellite. These measurements help CERES scientists to understand how small-scale variability in ice and cloud extent and properties affect their satellite-based retrievals. Google map showing the flight track of the NASA C-130 aircraft during a research flight conducted on 7 September 2014 north of the Alaskan coast. Before wrapping up the research flight on the 7th and beginning our 2-hour transit back to Fairbanks, we descended into the low-level clouds to measure their microphysical properties with the in situ cloud probes. The video below shows what it’s like to measure an Arctic cloud from inside it! The left side of the video shows the real-time data time series from our research instruments that we are continuously monitoring in flight. The top-right imagery is from the forward-facing camera in the C-130 cockpit. The bottom-right imagery is from the downward-facing, nadir camera mounted on the bottom of the aircraft. || ", "hits": 16 }, { "id": 30627, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30627/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2015-09-18T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Fires at Night in the U.S. Northwest", "description": "Fires at Night in the U.S. Northwest || nw_fires_at_night_preview.jpg (1024x575) [5.5 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_preview_thm.png (80x40) [24.2 KB] || nw_fires_at_night_preview_searchweb.png (180x320) [136.1 KB] || nw_fires_at_night_ae_1080p.mp4 (1920x1080) [7.4 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_ae_720p.mp4 (1280x720) [3.8 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_ae_720p.webm (1280x720) [4.7 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_2304p.mp4 (4096x2304) [22.8 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_ae_360p.mp4 (640x360) [1.2 MB] || 4104x2304_16x9_30p (4104x2304) [64.0 KB] || nw_fires_at_night_30627.pptx [30.2 MB] || nw_fires_at_night_30627.key [32.0 MB] || ", "hits": 29 }, { "id": 40247, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/goes/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2015-09-14T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "GOES", "description": "GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) is a joint mission between NOAA and NASA.
