//__Aqua-__//  Aqua was launched May 4, 2002 and its purpose for going into space was to help scientist on Earth predict hurricanes, rain storms, and other climate problems. Some facts that I learned from an article about Aqua are…… that each day it can give scientist about 89 gigabytes of information about the climate of Earth, that this specific satellite has six different instruments on board to get information, it was named after finding so much information about water, Aqua was the first member launched from a group of satellites called Afternoon Constellation or sometimes called the A-Train, some elements that this satellite uses are elements from the water cycle and involve water in liquid, solid, vapor, and esc. -Nicole Jimenez

__**The Mars Exploration Rovers-**__ This is a rover that is still roving Mars! The public events during the next two weeks will annouce information about adventures of the Mars Rover! It landed five years ago in Janurary and is still active! The article/story I read was amazing to know about upcoming and history about the Mars Rover! ~Caitlyn K. **__Aquarious__**- A currently focused satellite mission used to measure Sea Surface Salinity (SSS). - Ciara Lockhart 6-8

 * __//New Horizons//__ - The** **New Horizons is a space probe sent out to explore something amazing-****what used to be Pluto. It is also seeing things like lightening around Jupiters rings and more amazing stuff. This probe launched on January,19,2006. <3 Brianne Russell <3**======

__**     Aura      **__     ** Aura was launched on July 15th, 2004. It is a part of the Earth Science Division, a program that monitors the interactions that affect the globe using NASA satellites. Aura is observing the Earth's ozone sheild, which protects all life. -Samuel Joseph **         ======

 __Aura-__ On July 15th, 2004 at 6:01:59, the Aura was launched at the Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. Aura is part of the Earth Observing System (EOS) which a program that monitors the interactions that affect tEarth using NASA satellites and data systems. The Aura is designed specifically to answer three basic questions: is the Earth's ozone layer recovering?, is air quality getting worse?, and how is the Earth's climate changing?. The Aure is currently in space trying to answer those three questions. ~ AShley Irabor<33          Smart 1==  smart 1 launched on September 27, 2003. its primary test was to test new technologies. its second mission was to map and study the moon in great detail.this orbiter explored the darker reigons of the moon. which was to head toward the south pole and for the first time and take a closer look. the most intersting fact is that i learned was when the article said thatthe European Space Agency were the first peopleto travel into the moon. this face is interesting to me beacause i did not know that they werethe first people to travel to the moon also because i only knew that they were the first people in space.

The SOHO found a spot on the sun. The new spot has a magnetic orientation.The SOHO was launched December 2, 1995. It was designed in Europe by a group led by the Matra and the instruments were provide by European and American scientists. SOHO stands for Solar & Heliospheric Obervatory. NASA was responsible for the launch and is now responsible for the mission operations. The mission control is based at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. - Olamide Asanpaola       <span style="display: block; color: #00ff06; font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace; background-color: #0e0c0c; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2cdd3f; font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace; background-color: #0e0b0b;"><span style="color: #ef00ff; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #f0efef;">            <span style="display: block; color: #00ff06; font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace; background-color: #0e0c0c; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2cdd3f; font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace; background-color: #0e0b0b;"><span style="color: #ef00ff; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #f0efef;">            <span style="display: block; color: #00ff06; font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace; background-color: #0e0c0c; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2cdd3f; font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace; background-color: #0e0b0b;"><span style="color: #ef00ff; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #f0efef;">            <span style="display: block; color: #00ff06; font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace; background-color: #0e0c0c; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2cdd3f; font-family: 'Lucida Console', Monaco, monospace; background-color: #0e0b0b;"><span style="color: #ef00ff; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #f0efef;">     Mission Cindi- Mission Cindi's purpose is to study the elements that influence space weather near Earth's equator. Cindi's investigation is to study science, communcation, and navigation.Cindi will be sending images of the Plasma bubbles.These signals are used for communication and navigation.The thermoshere and inosphere.The plasma is unstable.This happens at night. In conclusion, I believe that Mission Cindi is a spacecraft that does scientific investigations.-Amanda Bogans       ======
