Its launch failed in February, resulting in the destruction of the satellite.

One significant loss of the Earth Science program was the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, which was supposed to deliver key data for studying climate change. The agency currently has 15 satellites monitoring the globe and pumping out ever higher-resolution data about the processes that drive global change.

The changes reflect the "significant commitment to Earth Science on the part of the new Administration."

In its latest budget, the agency requested $1.2 billion more for studying our own planet than it had previously projected. The Obama administration has told NASA it would like to see more earth science, in addition to standard planetary exploration and astrophysics. It's a big improvement on the previous best topographic map publicly available, which was produced by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, and surveyed 80 percent of the world.
