    AURA WHAT IS IT?

    The Aura Satellite is a


    satellite that orbits around earth.
    It was launched on July 15, 2004.
    The Aura spacecraft has a mass of about 1,765 kg (3,891 lb). The Aura comes from the Latin word
    “air.” Aura was launched from
    body is 6.9 m (23 ft) long. The extended single solar panel about 15 m
    Vandenberg Air Force Base.
    (49 ft) long.
    Aura is a special satellite
    because it studies the ozone layer
    of earth. It also studies air
    quality and climate. Specifically,
    the mission of Aura is to get
