- METEOR-3M Mission: The Meteor-3M satellite mission is a joint partnership between NASA and the Russian Aviation and Space Agency (RASA). It was initiated by the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission in 1994 and extends a long-term working relationship between the United States and Russia to understand Earth's environment. Spacecraft Information: The Meteor-3M spacecraft is an advanced model of the Meteor spacecraft that was developed over 30 years ago. The payload includes SAGE III and other instruments. Measurements Taken:
1. temperature and humidity profiles 2. clouds, 3. surface properties 4. high energy particles in the upper atmosphere. Solar measurements are collected twice each orbit when the satellite ascends or descends from behind the Earth. Lunar measurements are collected when at least 50% of the moon is visible and the sun is not. Additional information available at: http://www-sage3.larc.nasa.gov/meteor-3m/predicts/
