The rapid development in satellite technology in the past few decades has revolutionized the way we conduct scientific research and science education. In 1972, when the first Landsat satellite was launched and provided a synoptic view of parts of the Earth, researchers could see a much larger picture. Not surprisingly, the thrust of the research in the late eighties and nineties drifted from conventional, local scale studies to more encompassing global scale modeling. More recently, with the launch of more specialized satellite missions, we have reached a point where satellites are not only used for Earth Observations, but also for observing the sun, other planets and the interplanetary space. The natural progression of this technological advancement is that, for the first time, it will be possible to study the Sun-Earth-Atmosphere and their interaction at the same time. This implies that research will become increasingly multidisciplinary leading to strengthening of the 'systems approach' to science. Consequently preK-16 educational programs will need to be retailored to reflect the current developments in science. Processed multisensor images from various Earth Observing Satellites are presented. The emphasis is on remote sensing research results from high latitude Polar Regions where the spatial and temporal dynamics of change is amplified. The 'A Train' constellation of satellites that will be providing near simultaneous measurement of land, water and atmosphere is introduced. The concept of centralized repository for data, models and processed results from satellite missions, such as the A Train, is presented which would facilitate education outreach to global audience at all levels. The mechanism for disseminating information and knowledge of to distant audience, minority and native communities is proposed.
