ASTRONOMY CONTRAILS JET AVIATION CIRRUS GLOBAL WARMING AIR ...
3. Contrails in Landsat-7 imagery: http://science.nasa.gov/...
NEAR ... up
1. First of its kind: the interplanetary spacecraft NEAR was used to image what appears to be the remnant of a jet contrail over the Saudi Arabian desert. As NASA points
out, this is one of the first instances where terrestrial civilization has been detected by an interplanetary probe [however, the clouds appear natural to the keeper]:

NOAA ... up
1. General info on NOAA satellite products: http://www.itc.nl/...
2. NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory: Effects of aircraft on the atmosphere: "For both subsonic and supersonic aircraft, there are many questions about how the exhaust gases
and particles might influence the atmosphere": http://www.al.noaa.gov/...
3. Contrails are only visible in NOAA AVHRR 1-km imaging if already 0.5 km wide: http://www-pm.larc.nasa.gov/...
4. Satellite picture of contrails over Virginia: http://www.datasys.net/...
5. Jet Contrails over northeast US, June 4, 1999 (NOAA 14): http://fermi.jhuapl.edu/...
6. NOAA winter image of Great Lake region. The web site does not mention contrails, but NOAA has confirmed to me that the many linear features are indeed contrails or
contrail shadows: http://hazard1.wwb.noaa.gov/...
7. "Satellite Picture of the Week", including shadows of contrails cast on lower clouds; notice regular spacing of contrails over the North Atlantic: http://wwwimk.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de/...

8. Spiral-shaped contrail, 14 turns, most likely from an AWACS plane, over the North Sea, (the web site does not specify the spacecraft, but Dundee Satellite Receiving
Station has confirmed this to be a NOAA image, from April 15, 1993, and supplied other archive images of the event): http://www.win.net/...

SEAWIFS ... up
1. Contrails visible just west of Chicago in the August 20, 1999 SeaWiFS image of the Great Lakes region: http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/ - and - possible contrail in image of
Turkey: click

TERRA SPACECRAFT ... up
1. MODIS instrument good for contrail-cirrus detection: "MODIS will produce the first highly detailed global maps of cirrus cloud cover, which will significantly improve
the ability of scientists to track changes in the amount of cirrus over time. According to recent research, cirrus clouds - and their atmospheric warming influence - may
be increasing over areas with heavy air traffic as the contrails produced by jet exhaust form cirrus clouds": http://pao.gsfc.nasa.gov/...
2. EOS-Terra MODIS imagery: "Note pattern of extensive jet aircraft contrails over San Francisco and central California": http://www.seaspace.com/...
SPACE SHUTTLE ... up
1. According to one NASA site, the first photograph taken from the Space Shuttle of an airplane generating a contrail, was obtained during STS 26 (September 1988) (text
only): http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/... (NOTE: this is inconsistent with the legend of a 1983 photo from STS 9, roll 46, frame 1814: http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/... )
2. Impressive contrails over Crete and Turkey: http://www.southwestern.edu/...
