Orchestrating NASA’s Fleet of Earth Observing Satellites
NASA’s current satellite fleet includes 20 Earth-observing missions. While each satellite performs independent mission work, some augment their science capabilities by flying in close, coordinated proximity to one another as part of a constellation—e.g., the Afternoon Constellation, or “A-Train.” Maintaining the orbits of each of these missions and keeping them all safely operating presents daily challenges. On page 4 of the March-April issue of The Earth Observer, we provide an overview of NASA’s Earth Science Mission Operations (ESMO) Project.
