Alaska has nearly 1 million miles of rivers, but only 10% of them are gauged, or measured.
By #TrackingWorldWater, SWOT will measure the height of surface water from space and help groups like the Alaska Department of Fish and Game better manage salmon spawning and survival.
#NASAEarth
SWOT will allow us to see Alaskaβs waters in ways we havenβt before, which is important, because Alaska, being in the Arctic, is also where the U.S. is experiencing the most climate change right now.

During #Apollo17, the Lunar Rover Vehicle logged the farthest distance from the LM of any Apollo mission, 4.7 miles (~7.5 km).
As a precaution, the LRV had a walk-back limit in the event of an LRV issue; astronauts had to have enough resources to walk back to the lunar module.
#NASAhistory
For our LRV fans, visiting an LRV driven on the Moon is a bit difficult since the 3 LRVs used for Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions were left on the Moon. But you can find an LRV used for training at @airandspace.

Every time I see an LRV, I think, "Only AMERICANS would take a car with them to the moon."
But I'm sure NASA had their reasons. π

in reply to NASA • • •Glad 2 know #NASA 's peaceful efforts affecting #Human #OuterSpace cooperation, growth & prosperity, as in our current context of wars between nations, the fragility of cooperative interests is precarious, & these accords will, over the next 500 yrs, limit the oppressive nature of colonialistic expansion into outer space vs peaceful partnerships! Let just relations b our guiding principles!
