EARTH SCIENCE MISSIONS

CURRENT
PROPOSED

The Decadal Survey will generate consensus recommendations from the Earth and
environmental science and the applications communities regarding a systems approach to space-
based Earth Science observations. The following is an chronological list of Earth science
satellites and instruments proposed by JPL for consideration by the Decadal Survey.

CLARREO
Will measure solar radiation, spectrally resolved forcing and response
the climate system.

SMAP
Will measure soil moisture and freeze/thaw for weather and water cyc
processes.

Mission home page

ICESat-II
Will measure ice sheet height changes for climate change diagnoses.

Mission home page

DESDynI
Will measure surface and ice sheet deformation for understanding natural
hazards and climate; vegetation structure for ecosystem health.

Mission home page


HyspIRI
Will monitor land surface composition for agriculture and mineral
characterization and vegetation types for ecosystem health.

Mission home page

ASCENDS
Will measure the number density of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the column
of air beneath the aircraft. Will also measure ambient air pressure and
temperature.
