GSFC manages operations for many NASA and international missions including the Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ), the Explorer program, the Discovery Program, the Earth Observing System ( EOS ), INTEGRAL, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory ( SOHO ), the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer ( RXTE ) and Swift.

The Center's contribution to the Earth Science Enterprise includes several spacecraft in the Earth Observing System fleet as well as EOSDIS, a science data collection, processing, and distribution system.

These missions include earth science projects like the Earth Observing System ( EOS ) that includes the Terra, Aqua, and Aura spacecraft flying alongside several projects from other Centers or other countries.

* Humidity Sounder for Brazil MW radiometer instrument on NASA's Earth Observing System satellite Aqua launched in May 2002

It is the flagship of the Earth Observing System ( EOS ).

The CERES are scientific satellite instruments, part of the NASA's Earth Observing System

* SAC-D, also known as Aquarius, a satellite launched in 2011 as part of the NASA Earth Observing System program

This experiment consists of the CAPL-2 Hitchhiker payload designed as an in-orbit microgravity demonstration of a cooling system planned for the Earth Observing System Program and the Thermal Energy Storage-2 payload, part of an effort to develop advanced energy generation techniques.

* Google Earth Interface to the James Reserve Observing Systems ( requires Google Earth )

It is the third major component of the Earth Observing System ( EOS ) following on Terra ( launched 1999 ) and Aqua ( launched 2002 ).

It is the second major component of the Earth Observing System ( EOS ) preceded by Terra ( launched 1999 ) and followed by Aura ( launched 2004 ).

Just under five hours later, on the CSM's 65th orbit around the Moon, its Service Propulsion System main engine was reignited to propel the craft on a trajectory that would return it to Earth.

This interdisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and habitable planets outside our Solar System, the search for evidence of prebiotic chemistry, laboratory and field research into the origins and early evolution of life on Earth, and studies of the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in outer space.

Due to the movement of the Earth around the Earth-Moon barycenter, the apparent path of the Sun wobbles slightly, with a period of about one month ; due to perturbations by the other planets of the Solar System, the Earth-Moon barycenter wobbles slightly around a mean position in a complex fashion.

Also, the Earth does not actually orbit the Sun, but the Solar System barycenter, therefore an alternate definition of the ecliptic is the mean plane of the orbit of Earth-Moon barycenter around the Solar System barycenter.

The Global Positioning System ( GPS ) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

Many astronomers, geologists and biologists believe that exploration of the Solar System provides knowledge that could not be gained by observations from Earth's surface or from orbit around Earth.

Although various Spaceguard projects monitor the Solar System for objects that might come dangerously close to Earth, current asteroid deflection strategies are crude and untested.

However, either fission or fusion technologies can in principle achieve velocities far higher than needed for Solar System exploration, and fusion energy still awaits practical demonstration on Earth.

Hutton subsequently read an abstract of his dissertation Concerning the System of the Earth, its Duration and Stability to Society meeting on 4 July 1785, which he had printed and circulated privately.

Though Hutton circulated privately a printed version of the abstract of his Theory ( Concerning the System of the Earth, its Duration, and Stability ) which he read at a meeting of the Royal Society of Edinburgh on 4 July 1785 ; the full account of his theory as read at the 7 March 1785 and 4 April 1785 meetings did not appear in print until 1788.

Due to the volatility of elemental nitrogen and its common compounds with hydrogen and oxygen, nitrogen is far less common on the rocky planets of the inner Solar System, and it is a relatively rare element on Earth as a whole.

The reason for neon's relative scarcity on Earth and the inner ( terrestrial ) planets, is that neon forms no compounds to fix it to solids, and is highly volatile, therefore escaping from the planetesimals under the warmth of the newly-ignited Sun in the early Solar System.

A near-Earth object ( NEO ) is a Solar System object whose orbit brings it into close proximity with the Earth.

* Data collected from the Space Fence's sensors would potentially feed into the Joint Space Operations Center Mission System, which is used to track objects orbiting the Earth, monitor space weather and assess foreign launches.

Yet the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and the International Astronomical Union have defined a framework called the International Terrestrial Reference System.

Ancient cultures saw the Earth as the centre of the Solar System or universe ( geocentrism ).

* Earth in the Solar System

The actions Q took in sending the Enterprise D to System J-25 — and thus maintaining the time loop, are expanded upon in the Star Trek novels as being partially ( though indirectly ) the reason for the existence of the Mirror Universe, explaining that Zefram Cochrane attempted to warn Earth and the worlds that would become part of the Federation about the Borg after First Contact.

Terra ( EOS AM-1 ) is a multi-national NASA scientific research satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit around the Earth.

The Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS ) is a payload scientific instrument launched into Earth orbit by NASA in 1999 on board the Terra ( EOS AM ) Satellite, and in 2002 on board the Aqua ( EOS PM ) satellite.

Aura ( EOS CH-1 ) is a multi-national NASA scientific research satellite in orbit around the Earth, studying the Earth's ozone layer, air quality and climate.
