TERRA

On February 24, 2000, Terra began collecting what will ultimately become a new, 15-year global data set on which to base scientific investigations about our complex home planet. Together with the entire fleet of EOS spacecraft, Terra is helping scientists unravel the mysteries of climate and environmental change. TERRA's data collection instruments include: Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES), Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR), Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT)

于公元2000年2月24日，Terra项目启动，旨在构建一个为期15年的全球性数据集，该数据集将为关于我们复杂地球家园的科学探究提供基础。与EOS系列航天器编队协同作业，Terra项目正助力科学家们揭示气候与环境变迁的奥秘。TERRA项目的数据收集仪器包括：高级空间热辐射和反射辐射计（ASTER）、云与地球辐射能量系统（CERES）、多角度成像光谱辐射计（MISR）、中分辨率成像光谱辐射计（MODIS）以及对流层污染测量仪（MOPITT）。
