NASA to Launch STRIVE & EDGE Satellites by 2030 for Deeper Earth Study

• NASA selects two new satellite missions, STRIVE and EDGE, under its Earth System Explorers Program.
• Scheduled for launch by 2030, these missions will observe Earth's changing atmosphere, ice sheets, and ecosystems.
• STRIVE will measure temperature, ozone, aerosols, and trace gases from the upper troposphere to the mesosphere.
• EDGE will map the 3D structure of forests and measure the topography of glaciers, ice sheets, and sea ice.
• The missions aim to provide sharper data, better forecasts, and stronger climate insights amid major environmental changes.
