Missions Included in the 2017 Senior Review (credit NASA). View Full Size
The NASA Earth Science Division (ESD) of the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is supporting several Earth observing missions that are
operating beyond their prime mission lifetimes. Extended operations and associated data analysis activities require a significant fraction
of the ESD annual budget. NASA and the ESD thus periodically evaluate the allocation of Mission Operation and Data Analysis (MO&DA) funds
with the aim of maximizing within finite resources the missions' contributions to NASA's and the nation's goals. This periodic NASA
comparative review for missions in extended operations is known as the "Senior Review."
