NASA Aqua

Basics Launched May 4th 2002 Sun-synchronous Orbit Near Polar low-Earth orbit FOV +/- 55 degrees off Nadir Allows for 2330 KM Swath Width Whiskbroom Scanning 12 Bit Collects Data in 36 Bands Resolution ranges from 250 meter to 1 KM

Primary Function Collect data about Earth’s water cycle Evaporation from Oceans Water Vapor in Atmosphere Clouds Precipitation Soil moisture Sea/land ice Snow cover on land and ice

Instruments Aboard AMSR-E — Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS — measures cloud properties, sea surface temperature, near-surface wind speed, radiative energy flux, surface water, ice and snow. Furnished by the National Space Development Agency of Japan. MODIS — Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, also measures cloud properties and radiative energy flux, also aerosol properties; land cover and land use change, fires and volcanos. This instrument is also aboard Terra. AMSU-A — Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit — measures atmospheric temperature and humidity. AIRS — Atmospheric Infrared Sounder — measures atmospheric temperature and humidity, land and sea surface temperatures. HSB — Humidity Sounder for Brazil — VHF band equipment measuring atmospheric humidity. Furnished by Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais of Brazil. The HSB instrument has been in survival mode since 2/5/2003. CERES — Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System, Flying Models 3 and 4, measure broadband radiative energy flux.
