Consistent with the Academies’ recommendations, NASA will augment the core with competitively selected Earth Explorer missions, to infuse innovation and deliver additional high-priority observations.</p><!--]--></div></div><!--]--><!--]--></div></div><div class="BlockLayout BlockLayoutGeneric grid-row grid-container grid-container-block smd-padding-x-responsive margin-y-5 desktop:margin-y-6"><div class="grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-8 desktop:grid-offset-2"><!--[--><!--[--><div class="BlockWrapper hds-module hds-media wp-block-image CoreImageBlock"><div class="margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline"><!--[--><div class="hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto"><figure class="hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover"><picture class="BaseMedia width-full"><source type="image/webp" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 320px, (max-width: 768px) 640px, (max-width: 1024px) 768px, (max-width: 1280px) 1024px, (max-width: 1536px) 1280px, 2048px" srcset="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=320&format=webp 320w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=640&format=webp 640w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=768&format=webp 768w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=1024&format=webp 1024w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=1280&format=webp 1280w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=1536&format=webp 1536w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=2048&format=webp 2048w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=2560&format=webp 2560w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=3072&format=webp 3072w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=4096&format=webp 4096w"><img width="2000" height="1125" alt="a graphic showing what areas the Earth System Observatory will study" loading="lazy" decoding="async" onerror="this.setAttribute('data-error', 1)" style="transform:scale(1);transform-origin:51% 50%;object-position:51% 50%;object-fit:cover;" class="width-full" data-nuxt-pic src="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=4096&format=png" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 320px, (max-width: 768px) 640px, (max-width: 1024px) 768px, (max-width: 1280px) 1024px, (max-width: 1536px) 1280px, 2048px" srcset="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=320&format=png 320w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=640&format=png 640w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=768&format=png 768w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=1024&format=png 1024w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=1280&format=png 1280w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=1536&format=png 1536w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=2048&format=png 2048w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=2560&format=png 2560w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=3072&format=png 3072w, https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/newdo-jpg.webp?w=4096&format=png 4096w"></picture></figure><!----></div><!--]--></div></div><!--]--><!--]--></div></div><div class="BlockLayout BlockLayoutGeneric grid-row grid-container grid-container-block smd-padding-x-responsive margin-y-3"><div class="grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-8 desktop:grid-offset-2"><!--[--><!--[--><div class="BlockWrapper hds-module width-full maxw-full CoreParagraphBlock"><div class="grid-container-block grid-container padding-0"><!--[--><p class="margin-0 padding-0">Each of the missions will deliver important environmental measurements. Taken together, as a single Observatory, NASA will have a holistic, 3D view of Earth to better understand how our planet’s complex systems work together and improve our capability to predict how our climate may change. NASA’s Open Source Science strategy is the key to bringing the data from these missions together into a single observatory to help understand the earth as a system and accelerate our ability to use this understanding. These observations will better inform decision-makers on how our planet is changing, with greater precision on previously unimaginable scales – from entire continents down to individual trees, from atmosphere to bedrock.</p><!--]--></div></div><!--]--><!--]--></div></div><div class="BlockLayout BlockLayoutGeneric grid-row grid-container grid-container-block smd-padding-x-responsive
