  2. EOS Terra, Aqua, and Aura Missions • Terra: • Launch Date: December 18,1999 (Atlas IIAS, VAFB) • Orbit: 705 km, sun-synchronous polar, 98.2oInclination, 10:30 AM MLT descending node • Instrument Payload: ASTER (SWIR, TIR & VNIR) (Japan); CERES (Fore & Aft) (USA – NASA LaRC); MISR(USA –NASA JPL); MODIS (USA – NASA GSFC); MOPITT (Canada) • Aqua: • Launch Date: May 4, 2002 (Delta, VAFB) • Orbit: 705 km, sun-synchronous polar, 98.2oInclination, 1:30 PM MLT ascending node • Instrument Payload: AMSR-E (Japan); AMSU (USA –NASA JPL); AIRS (USA –NASA JPL); CERES(USA – NASA LaRC); HSB (Brazil); MODIS (USA – NASA GSFC) • Aura: • Launch Date: July 15, 2004 (Delta, VAFB) • Orbit: 705 km, sun-synchronous polar, 98.2oInclination, 1:45 PM MLT ascending node • Instrument Payload: HIRDLS (UK/NASA/UCAR); MLS ((USA –NASA JPL); OMI (KNMI, Netherlands); TES (USA –NASA JPL) • EOS Project Management:Earth Science Mission Operations (ESMO), NASA GSFC • Mission Operations: NASA GSFC • Instrument Operations and Science Data processing: Performed at respective Instrument Locations • Science Data Processing: Level zero: EOS Data Operations System (EDOS); Level 1+: Various Data Centers and Investigator-led Processing Facilities in the US and International Partner Facilities

  3. Terra Summary • Spacecraft Status - GREEN • Instrument Status - GREEN • ASTER: VNIR and SWIR nominal; SWIR ops ended 2008 • CERES: Operating Normally • MISR: Operating Normally • MODIS: Operating Normally • MOPITT: Operating Normally • Data Capture/L0 Processing Status – GREEN • SSR Data Capture over life of the mission: ~99.00 % • Ground Systems – System Upgrades in progress • Implementing system changes and new back-up control center • No planned interruptions to operations • Completion in Summer 2011

  4. Terra Predicted Propellant Usage based on Nominal Solar Flux • Terra has sufficient propellant to maintain Mean Local Time (MLT) of 10:30am +/- 1 minute through 2017 • Terra can continue to operate through Summer of 2019 by allowing MLT to drift towards minimum MLT requirement of 10:15 am (established prior to launch)

  5. Aqua Mission Summary • Spacecraft Status - GREEN • Instrument Status - GREEN • AMSR-E, AIRS, AMSU, CERES & MODIS: • Operations Nominal – Producing Great Science • HSB: Survival Mode since 2/5/2003 • Data Capture/L0 Processing Status – GREEN • SSR Data Capture to over life of the mission: ~99.97 % • Data Latency – Excellent • Ground Systems – System Upgrades in progress • Implementing system changes and new back-up control center • No planned interruptions to operations • Completion in Summer 2011

Aqua Fuel Usage: Actual & Predicted Ascent Maneuvers Fall 2004 Delta-i Maneuvers Fall 2006 Delta-i Maneuvers Spring 2009 Delta-i Maneuvers (9) Annual Delta-i Maneuvers Spring 2007 Delta-i Maneuvers Spring 2018 Delta-i Maneuvers Spring 2010 Delta-i Maneuvers (3) Aqua spacecraft has sufficient fuel to maintain its current orbit within the Afternoon Constellation through FY2018 and possibly well beyond

  7. Aura Summary • Spacecraft Status - GREEN • Instrument Status - GREEN • HIRDLS: Not collecting science data – Chopper Stalled 03/17/08 • MLS: Operating Normally • Periodic Band 13 measurements • THz module currently in standby mode • OMI: Operating Normally • Field-of-View Anomaly started in September 2007 – currently stable • TES: Operating Normally • Data Capture/L0 Processing Status – GREEN • SSR Data Capture over life of the mission: ~99.99 % • Ground Systems – System Upgrades in progress • Implementing system changes and new back-up control center • No planned interruptions to operations • Completion in Summer 2011

  8. Aura Fuel Usage: Actual& Predicted Ascent Maneuvers Spring 2009 Inclination Adjust Maneuvers (9) Spring 2010 Inclination Adjust Maneuvers (3) Spring 2018 Inclination Adjust Maneuvers Aura spacecraft has sufficient fuel to maintain its current orbit within the Afternoon Constellation through FY2018 and possibly well beyond
