The JPL-built satellite confirmed the existence of the Van Allen radiation belts, the very first space science discovery. Explorer 1&#8217;s success was only the first of an array of Earth missions that have mapped and probed our planet&#8217;s lands, waters and atmosphere on scales ranging from the millimeter to global views. This conversation and multimedia journey spanned from the dawn of Earth space science to today&#8217;s modern fleet that is providing vital information in understanding the changes taking place on the only planet humans can yet call home.
