AQUA SATELLITE:

Aqua, launched in 2002, is a NASA Earth Science satellite used to collect large amounts of information about the Earth's water cycle, including evaporation from the oceans, water vapor in the atmosphere, clouds, precipitation, soil moisture, sea ice, land ice, and snow cover on the land and ice. That’s also how it got its distinct name, which in Latin means Water. The Aqua Satellite just like Satellites in the Landsat series serves in the Earth Observing System. The Aqua Satellite contains the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, which captures the images in our database that are sent by Aqua.
