Designed to help students and teachers better appreciate science and engineering in a global context, this eBook describes a number of interesting and important Earth-observing satellites, which are used to measure and monitor key environmental variables. The satellites covered include the Landsat family of spacecraft as well as Terra, Aqua, and Aura, three environmental satellites that use complementary sets of sensors to accomplish a systematic study of Earth. A wealth of images help bring the topic to life.
