Abstract :
The first 120 days of the EO-1 mission, constituting the accelerated mission, far exceeded the goal of acquiring sufficient data to insure meeting minimal EO-1 validation requirements. The strategy of using Southern Hemisphere test sites during the Northern Hemisphere winter solstice has left EO-1 with a rich legacy of data for a large variety of ecosystems under varying conditions
