Geography helps scientists to study the environment as well as the weather change of Earth .Today space technology makes it easier than ever for them to use geography．
The United States launched TIROS in 1958，the first weather satellite to study Earth．It gives effective weather information in advance This program has also led scientists to create new space tools that help study geography．
The Landsat program began in 1972．This satellite send such clear pictures of Earth from space that scientists can even count the number of crops in a field!Landsat is now even more advanced，and it still flies today．
The Earth Observing-I（EO-I）is another space program．This satellite flies right behind Landsat，taking pictures of the same place．When people look at the two sets of pictures together，they see how cities grow．They can also see how other p1 aces，such as rain forests，get smaller and smaller over time．
The Geographical Information Systems（GIS），one of the newest space tools，is the computer software which collects data from satellites．This space program helps scientists study the changes to Earth's surface．GIS is different from earlier space tools．People outside governments can use it．Business，schools，and even ordinary people can use GIS to see how changes to the planet may influence them．
