Aerial view of the coastal launch range of Wallops Flight Facility, showing a blue Atlantic Ocean on the right; white buildings along a tan coastline back up to a green, marshy landscape

An aerial photograph of the NASA Goddard Visitor Center, with white and brick rectangular buildings peeking out from among dense green trees behind a tall white rocket. The rocket stands in the center of a tan paved circle and is shaped like a pencil with a long, slim tower and a slight bulge at the top. Several smaller red, white, and yellow rockets are displayed on their sides around the paved circle, with another rocket standing in a smaller, white paved circle near the trees.

Goddard Environmental Programs

Environmental Management program areas for NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center’s Greenbelt and Wallops sites.

Program Areas

Satellite image of the Delmarva Peninsula area of the East Coast of the U.S., which is a green and brown coastline with the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. Most of the land is covered in small puffs of clouds. The majority of the image is blue ocean water in the Atlantic. There is a large, gleaming patch of silvery water that looks almost like a mirror, labeled "sunglint." Next to it is an exceptionally colorful patch of ocean water, including teal swirls of phytoplankton, where there is no sunglint, which are labeled "phytoplankton." A darker green and blue patch next to the sunglint is labeled "low wind."
