Ready to launch! Our Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) spacecraft is set to liftoff at 9:20 a.m. EST today. Watch live NASA TV coverage starting at 7 a.m.: http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv
SMAP will provide high resolution, space-based measurements of soil moisture and its state -- frozen or thawed -- a new capability that will allow scientists to better predict natural hazards of extreme weather, climate change, floods and droughts, and help reduce uncertainties in our understanding of Earth's water, energy and carbon cycles. #EarthRightNow #SMAP
