Launch of NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Spacecraft

From NASA:




Teams met today and gave a “go” to proceed with the launch of NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) spacecraft atop a ULA Delta II rocket at 9:20 a.m. EST (6:20 a.m. PST) on Saturday, Jan. 31. This followed the completion of minor repairs to the Delta II rocket. During inspections following the Jan. 29 launch attempt, minor “debonds” to the booster insulation were identified. A standard repair was implemented. More:http://blogs.nasa.gov/smap #SMAP #EarthRightNow
