From breaking the ice on Jupiter’s moon Europa to going Captain Ahab on comets , NASA’s been quite busy formulating every kind of “strategery” for future projects lately. But simply because the gap agency has to pay Russians to join a ride to space nowadays doesn’t suggest it has nothing happening within the present. Take a look at the primary image from NASA’s NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) satellite. The satellite launched October 28th and, eventually, would be ready to measure anything from ocean temps to fireside locations. While it can’t do all of that just yet, the NPP satellite is at the very least in a position to taking global images with its Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The satellite is placed in a sun-synchronous orbit that lets it sync with the areas it covers at roughly an analogous time of day. The outcome? All images can have a similar lighting because the satellite maintains the similar angle between the Earth and the sun.
