Abstract The NASA' s Earth Science Enterprise(ESE) is introduced and analyzed in this paper. ESE aims at scientific understanding of the Earth system and increasing the duration and accuracy of the forecasts in weather, climate and natural hazards, and answers a series of science questions by observing(especially satellite observation), modeling the processes controlling the Earth system. The ESE defines the aims of science, application and technology in the next ten years separately, and arranges different satellite missions according to different science questions. The characteristics of the ESE are summarized at the end of the paper.
