STRIVE Program

NASA’s STRIVE Earth System Explorer mission will provide daily, near-global, high-resolution measurements of temperature, atmospheric constituents, aerosols, ozone, and trace gases from the upper troposphere through the mesosphere. Selected for continued development in February 2026, STRIVE faces a 2027 confirmation review and a launch no earlier than 2030.
