NASA's First Global Measuring Satellite Readied For Launch

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, CA - JANUARY 30: In this handout provided by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket with Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory onboard is seen after the mobile service tower was rolled back, at the Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base on January 30, 2015 in Vandenberg, California. The scheduled launch for early Saturday will be for NASA's first Earth-observing satellite designed to collect global observations of surface soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state. SMAP will provide high resolution global measurements of soil moisture from space. The data will be used to enhance scientists' understanding of the processes that link Earth's water, energy, and carbon cycles. (Photo by Bill Ingalls/NASA via Getty Images)
