Large unmanned helium balloons for NASA.

A comprehensive directory of information about Earth science data,including a broad coverage of the oceans, atmosphere, hydrosphere, solid earth, biosphere and human dimensions of global change.

Is responsible for planning, coordination, execution and oversight of technology programs for Goddards Space Science and Earth Science missions.

Provides access to a wide variety of astrophysics, space physics, solar physics, lunar, and planetary data from NASA space flight missions, in addition to selected other data, models, and software.

These missions are fundamental elements in our global approach to understanding the Sun-Earth connections system.The missions focus on understanding the dynamics, short and long term, large and small, through active and quiet solar periods.

NASA's STP program is a continuous sequence of flexible, cost-capped missions designed to systematically study the sun-Earth system. STP missions will focus on how and why the sun varies, and how Earth and the planets respond.

SSDOO is responsible for the project management of selected missions and the development and operations of data and information systems which support processing, management, archiving and distribution of space physics, astrophysics, and planetary data.

Goddard's space science programs and projects are conducted by the GSFC Space Sciences Directorate, Code 600. We seek to expand scientific knowledge through observational and theoretical research relating to the Solar System, our galaxy, and the universe.

Offers a series of technical seminars focusing on education and information sharing about relevant emerging information systems technologies.

The TERRA Project (formally known as AM-1) is responsible for the design, fabrication, test, launch, and on-orbit checkout of the instruments and spacecraft for the first EOS mission.The TERRA mission is part of NASA's Earth Sciences Enterprise.
