"How Two NASA Satellites Survived Trump’s Climate Purge"

"NASA is partnering with the European Space Agency on one and with the Indian Space Research Organization on the other."

"NASA has sent two new satellites into space over the past six months to monitor many of the ways global warming is affecting the planet.

Just don’t call them climate satellites.

The launches of the NISAR satellite in July and the Sentinel-6B satellite last week have earned applause from climate scientists worldwide, but the missions have gone largely unheralded by the Trump administration.

NASA officials have touted the satellites’ ability to provide life-saving information for search-and-rescue teams and commercial applications for real estate and energy — but they’ve said almost nothing about their potential for climate science."
