The NASA Earth Science Flight program is a dynamic undertaking consisting of a large fleet of operating satellites, an array of satellite and instrument projects in development, and a robust airborne science program which augments and advances the use of satellite data. The current fleet of 23 operating missions provides a wide range of scientific measurements obtained from dedicated Earth-observing satellites and the ISS. Projects in development include both directed missions and competitively selected Principal Investigator-led Earth Venture missions. In May 2021, NASA initiated the Earth System Observatory in response to the 2017 Earth Science Decadal Survey, including the competitively selected Earth System Explorers. The Earth Science Flight program benefits from investments by the Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO) to develop and demonstrate cutting-edge technologies that can be applied to future Earth Science measurements and missions.
