NASA Satellite Captures Dozens Of Fires Burning In North KoreaNASA Earth Observatory
NOAA/NASA’s Suomi NPP satellite collected this natural-color image using the VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) instrument on August 21, 2019. Smoke from the fires raging in the Amazon basin has created a shroud that is clearly visible across much of the center of South America...
“Our ability to track fires in a concerted way over the last 20 years with satellite data has captured large-scale trends, such as increased fire activity, consistent with a warming climate in places like the western U.S., Canada and, other parts of Northern Hemisphere forests where fuels ...
that performed multi-angle photopolarimetric measurements of the Earth atmosphere were the Polarization and Directionality of the Earth’s Reflectances (POLDER) instruments (Deschamps et al., 1994), of which the decommissioned POLDER-3 onboard the PARASOL micro-satellite provided data from 2005 to ...

expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere sometime between late September and early October, NASA officials said. The nearly 12,500-pound (5,668-kilogram) satellite will fall over a stretch of land more than 500 miles (804 kilometers) long somewhere between northern Canada and southern South ...
The first satellite imagery of the Earth was returned by NASA's TIROS Program (Television Infrared Observation Satellite) in the early 1960s (Stroud, 1960; Bandeen et al., 1961), demonstrating the power of space-based observations to improve global weather forecasts. Since then, space-based ...
Progress was made this year for the 2016 launch of NASA’s Green Propellant Infusion Mission. The small satellite is designed to test a high-performance, non-toxic, “green” fuel in orbit as a potential replacement for highly toxic hydrazine and complex bi-propellant systems currently in use...
A satellite photo released by NASA Friday shows dozens of fires in North Korea, some of which appear to be wildfires.Global Post
New data fromNASA’s Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument, aboard the Aqua satellite, shows the movement high in the atmosphere of carbon monoxide associated with fires in the Amazon region of Brazil. This time series maps carbon monoxide at an altitude of 18,000 feet (5,500 meters...
