Earth Observing—1 satellite is retired, leaving a legacy of spectacular imagery
The Advanced Land Imager developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory helped NASA mission exceed expectations.
 |
After more than 16 years of operation, NASA's Earth Observing–1 (EO-1) spacecraft was decommissioned on 30 March. The EO-1 mission was to validate new technologies that could reduce costs and improve capabilities for future space missions. Aboard EO-1 was the Advanced Land Imager developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory as an alternative to the prior land-imaging sensor.
