artist's concept of AcrimSat   Active Cavity Irradiance Monitor Satellite
Launch: December 20,1999
This satellite is designed to monitor the total amount of the Sun's energy reaching Earth. These data will help climatologists improve their predictions of climate change and global warming over the next century.

artist's concept of Cassini   Cassini-Huygens to Saturn
Launch: October 15,1997
A joint endeavor of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency, Cassini arrived at Saturn in June 2004 carrying a record number of 12 instruments. The mission is an intensive study of Saturn's rings, its moons and magnetosphere. Cassini released the Huygens probe towards Saturn's largest moon, Titan and the probe successfully landed on the moon's surface in January 2005.

CloudSat   CloudSat
Launch: April 28, 2006
CloudSat's trio of three satellites will be the first spacecraft to study clouds on a global basis. Their data will contribute to better predictions of clouds and their role in climate change.

artist's concept of Dawn   Dawn
Launch: September 27, 2007
Dawn, the first spacecraft ever planned to orbit two different bodies after leaving Earth, will orbit Vesta and Ceres, two of the largest asteroids in the solar system.

Artist concept of Epoxi   Epoxi
Launch: January 12, 2005
The Epoxi mission recycles the already "in flight" Deep Impact spacecraft to investigate two distinct celestial targets of opportunity. In 2008, Epoxi will observe five nearby stars with "transiting extrasolar planets," and later, on Oct. 11, 2010, the spacecraft will flyby and investigate comet Hartley.

artist's concept of Galaxy Evolution Explorer   Galaxy Evolution Explorer
Launch: April 28, 2003
This mission uses ultraviolet wavelengths to measure the history of star formation 80 percent of the way back to the Big Bang.
