NASA launched the Terra spacecraft, first major platform for the Earth Observing System, in December 1999. The platform has five instruments that acquire global data for a wide variety of scientific studies of the Earth's land, oceans, and atmosphere. The Terra mission initiated a process of long-term measurements designed to assess and monitor the health of the Earth. This paper provides an overview of the Terra mission and the status of the spacecraft and instruments during the past year.
