Earth Observing-1:
Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) served as a technology testbed to validate instruments and spacecraft parts that will enable future Earth imaging observatories to be lighter and cheaper to operate while devlivering superior performance.

In a series of firsts, the spacecraft tracked logging and drought effects on the Amazon rainforests, mapped vegetation - including invasive species - and tracked temperature variations in active volcanoes and forest fires.
