Since its inception in 1997, Code 568 personnel have supported
the following projects:
-
EO-1
- One of the key responsibilities of NASA's Earth Science
Office is to ensure the continuity of future Landsat
data. The New Millennium Program's (NMP) first Earth
Observing flight (EO-1), managed by NASA's Goddard Space
Flight Center (GSFC), will validate revolutionary technologies
contributing to the reduction in cost and increased
capabilities for future land imaging missions.
-
Hitchhiker
- Since 1986, Hitchhiker has been providing low cost
access to space through common electrical and mechanical
interfaces to the space shuttle. Experiments are launched
frequently. A listing of the past missions can be found
here.
-
HST - HST
is one of NASA's Great Observatories. It was launched
aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990
and deployed into a low Earth orbit (331.5 nautical
miles; 614 kilometers altitude). Code 568 assists the
HST Project in planning, design, development, fabrication,
integration and testing of replacement parts and science
instruments for the telescope.
-
IMAGE
- Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration.
IMAGE was designed to study the global response of the
Earth's magnetosphere to changes in the solar wind.
Code 568 provided I&T management and flight operations
support to IMAGE. It launched in March 2000.
-
TRMM - Tropical
Rainfall Measuring Mission was a joint mission between
NASA and the National Space Development Agency (NASDA)
of Japan . Launched in November 1997, It was designed
to monitor and study tropical rainfall and the associated
release of energy that helps top power the global atmospheric
circulation shaping both weather and climate around
the world.
