Give it up for our frequent flier Terra, a flagship Earth observing satellite, which just celebrated 100,000 orbits around Earth! Traveling 2.5 billion miles in almost 19 years, Terra is a testament to its remarkable team of scientists and engineers.

Terra is only one of a few satellites to reach this milestone, joining the ranks of the International Space Station, Landsat 5 and Landsat 7, among others. Its five onboard instruments continuously provide both long-term and immediate data about the health of our planet and its people.

It might be a little hard to see the seeds of the planets, stars and galaxies around us today in this baby picture of the universe, but they’re in there! This light was emitted just a few hundred thousand years after the big bang and has already helped astronomers learn about the structure and composition of our universe.

Our PIPER balloon payload will fly at the edge of Earth’s atmosphere to look for patterns in this early light. Its launch window opens later this month. In the meantime, check out this Tumblr for more on this cosmic baby picture and what PIPER will help us learn: https://bit.ly/2x57s3n
