A new drama is unfolding at NASA: Three of its flagship #climate satellites, which have captured an unprecedented two decades of global change, are low on fuel, drifting from their stable orbits.
#NASA is mulling whether to end the missions soon, or to let them run till mid-decade, capturing new diurnal insights into storms and fires. But doing so could delay the launch of its next-gen Earth System Observatory.
It's a tough call. What would you do?
