NASA uses satellite lidar technology to study Earth’s forests, key carbon sinks. The Center's Amy Neuenschwander talks about ICESat-2 for biomass estimation in From Space to Soil: How NASA Sees Forests.

Better together 🤝 NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite and GEDI instrument on the @Space_Station work together to give us the most complete view yet of Earth’s forests! They each map forests in 3D, helping scientists understand the carbon stored within our forests.

From a small town in India to the stars 🌌 Texas Engineer Maruthi Akella, professor in @UTAerospace, had an asteroid named after him — a rare and special honor. The asteroid, called "Maruthiakella," is about 5.5 miles wide and orbits between Mars and Jupiter.
