NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Earth Sciences Directorate
The Earth Science Directorate will provide leadership in achieving improved observations and understanding of global Earth systems processes and trends through the development and effective utilization of space technologies, and to provide enabling functions which support associated projects and programs of Goddard Space Flight Center, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Earth sciences community worldwide.

GSFC International Space Station (ISS) Research Program Office
This site will provide you with information on the ISS relating specifically to the role played by the Office of Earth Science and the Office of Space Science.

Exploring Earth From Space
This site explores the latest discoveries about our changing planet.

Centennial of Flight
A website that celebrates a century of powered flight.

A Global View from Space
See the entire Earth as seen from space in near real-time. These high resolution composite images are continually and automatically acquired and generated from orbiting and geosynchronous satellites.

Earth Science Systems Programs (formerly Mission To Planet Earth (MTPE)
What is Earth Science Systems Programs? What are the Earth Science Systems Programs Missions? Find information on the science of the Earth Systems, publications, and educational programs.

Earth Observatory
Welcome to NASA's Earth Observatory, where you can monitor regional and global changes on our planet almost as they happen. Here you can explore with NASA scientists the causes and effects of climatic and environmental change through the use of real satellite data. Select one of the rooms below to conduct your own exploration.

Earth Observing System (EOS)
EOS is the cornerstone of NASA's Mission To Planet Earth program and is an integral part of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). Discover, retrieve and display documents and data about EOS.

Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS)
The EOSDIS is a primary element of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth. A mission that is essential to the long term international research and study of the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces, and global-scale processes.

Earth Science Data Search and Order System
Here you will find a tool that will allow you to search, browse and order data from NASAs Earth Science data archives. In addition, data from several non-NASA and international archives are also available through this site.

GLOBE Visualization Project
GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) is a worldwide network of students, teachers, and scientists working together to study and understand the global environment. As part of GLOBE, Goddard creates daily visualizations of data collected by students and of reference data.
GISS is a division of Goddard's' Earth Science Directorate. It was established to do basic research in space and Earth sciences in support of Goddard Programs.

Landsat 
In 1992, the US Congress authorized the procurement, launch and operation of a new Landsat satellite. This new system, Landsat 7, launched successfully on April 15, 1999. It is the latest in a series of earth observation satellites dating back to 1972. The twenty-two year record of data acquired by the Landsat satellites constitutes the longest continuous record of the earth's continental surfaces. Preservation of the existing record and continuation of the Landsat capability were identified in the law as critical to land surface monitoring and global change research.

NSSDC Earth Science Data in Transition

RSD Program is designed to encourage the development of innovative applications of earth and space science remote sensing data. By stimulating broad public use, via the Internet, of the databases maintained by NASA and other agencies, the program will encourage schools, businesses and citizens to access and use earth and space science data, contribute to the implementation of a National Information Infrastructure (NII), stimulate US economic growth, and improve the quality of life.

Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor Project
(SeaWIFS) provides quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties to the Earth science community. Scientists construct more accurate models of Earth's climate and answering a key Earth Science question-- how solar radiation affects climate.   Named after Rodrigo de Triana, the lookout who first saw the New World from Columbus' ship, Triana will start its 1 million-mile journey to L1 (the LaGrange neutral gravity point between the Earth and the Sun) aboard a Space Shuttle late in 2000.  Visit them at http://triana.gsfc.nasa.gov

Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) - is responsible for archiving, cataloging, quality controlling and distribution of radar and rain gauge obtained from the several Ground Truth sites and/or associated field experiments. TRMM is being built at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center while the precipitation radar is being developed in Japan.

Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) - has general information on ozone satellite retrieval. The images and data contained here are provided by the Ozone Processing Team (OPT) located at Goddard.
