NASA has selected a preliminary payload for the earth observing system (Eos) program to be flown in the mid-to-late 1990s. This selection was based on the scientific guidance of various NASA Eos scientific advisory groups. The majority of the instruments have been assigned to two NASA-provided polar platforms. The payload for the NASA polar platforms consists of NASA research facility instruments, principal investigator instruments, and foreign-provided research facility instruments. The payload has been intentionally oversubscribed during the project definition phase, and will be down-selected before the execution phase begins. The measurements acquired by Eos will lead to a better understanding of the entire Earth system.
