Argos-4 Explorer
Argos is a satellite-based system that collects, processes, and disseminates environmental data. What better way to engage elementary and secondary learning than by bringing the best part about science to life?
NOAA recently launched a worldwide Data Collection System, the Argos-4 instrument, hosted onboard General Atomics' GAzelle satellite. The vital information from this satellite helps provide a better understanding of Earth’s physical and biological environment, (including its weather and climate, biodiversity, and ecosystems) maritime security, offshore pollution, and humanitarian assistance. 522 Productions partnered with NOAA to create an educational animated video about the benefits and features of the Argos-4 that could be understood by any age group.
