<br/><br/> "On July 15, 2004 at 3:02 a.m., NASA launched the Aura satellite, the third flagship in a series of Earth-observing satellites designed to view Earth as a whole system, observe the net results of complex interactions within the climate system, and understand how the planet is changing in response to natural and human influences. Aura was exclusively designed to study the composition, chemistry, and dynamics of the Earth's upper and lower atmosphere by employing four instruments on a single platform. Each instrument provides unique and complementary capabilities that will enable daily global observations of Earth's atmospheric ozone later, air quality, and key climate parameters." (EARTH OBSERVATORY) This article examines NASA's Aura satellite mission that will answer questions about the ozone layer, air quality and global warming.
