Aqua is a major international Earth Science satellite mission centered at NASA.

Aqua is a major international Earth Science satellite mission centered at NASA. Launched on May 4, 2002, the satellite has six different Earth-observing instruments on board and is named for the large amount of information being obtained about water in the Earth system from its stream of approximately 89 Gigabytes of data a day. The water variables being measured include almost all elements of the water cycle and involve water in its liquid, solid, and vapor forms. Additional variables being measured include radiative energy fluxes, aerosols, vegetation cover on the land, phytoplankton and dissolved organic matter in the oceans, and air, land, and water temperatures. The primary science objective of the Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua mission is the study of Earth's interrelated physical processes with an emphasis on the water cycle. Primary variables of interest include: ocean evaporation, atmospheric water vapor, clouds, terrestrial snow, land ice, sea ice, sea surface temperature, precipitation, and soil moisture. Additional variables include: radiative energy fluxes, atmospheric temperatures, humidities, aerosols, land vegetation cover, and ocean productivity.
