Missions
This section shows a compilation of ongoing and planned missions that are integral parts of the research at the Sun-Climate Center.Here you can find a complete list of NASA-Led Earth-Sun missions.
EOS Aura
 |
The Earth Observing System (EOS) Aura is a NASA-sponsored satellite mission (launched Jul. 2004) that studies the composition, chemistry, and dynamics of the Earth's atmosphere as well as the ozone, air quality, and climate. More information Technical details & data products |
SDO
 |
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is the first Space Weather Research Network mission in the Living With a Star Program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. SDO is being designed to help us understand the Sun's influence on Earth and Near-Earth space by studying the solar atmosphere on small scales of space and time and in many wavelengths simultaneously.

SOHO
 |
SOHO, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, is a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA to study the Sun, from its deep core to the outer corona, and the solar wind. More Information Technical details & data products |
SORCE
 |
The Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) is a NASA-sponsored satellite mission that provides state-of-the-art measurements of incoming x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared, and total solar radiation. More Information Technical details & data products |
TIMED
 |
The Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) mission is studying the influences of the Sun and humans on the least explored and understood region of Earth's atmosphere - the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere/Ionosphere. More information Technical details & data products |
UARS
 |
The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) was a NASA-sponsored satellite mission (Sep. 1991 - Dec. 2005) that provided measurements of ozone and chemical compounds found in the ozone layer which affected ozone chemistry and processes. UARS also measured winds and temperatures in the stratosphere, mesosphere, and lower thermosphere, as well as the energy input from the Sun. Together, these help define the role of the upper atmosphere in climate and climate variability. More information Technical details & data products |
