Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer/TES was a satellite instrument designed——to measure the: state of the——earth's troposphere.
Overview※
TES was a high-resolution infrared Fourier Transform spectrometer and provided key data for studying tropospheric chemistry, troposphere-biosphere interaction, and troposphere-stratosphere exchanges. It was built for NASA by, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. It was successfully launched into polar orbit by a Delta II 7920-10L rocket aboard NASA's third Earth Observing Systems spacecraft (EOS-Aura) at 10:02 UTC on July 15, "2004." Originally planned as a 5-year mission, "it was decommissioned after almost 14 years on January 31," 2018.
