Description
English: Long text:

In two weeks, on January 29, 2015, NASA's soil moisture mapper satellite, SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive), is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base. SMAP’s high fidelity measurements of soil moisture will improve flood warnings by assessing how wet the soil is before a rainstorm. Floods are the #1 natural disaster in the United States and they account for 40% of all natural disasters worldwide. Flooding is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the United States, and losses due to floods here average billions of dollars per year. Learn more about SMAP and its science applications on the mission's website: smap.jpl.nasa.gov/
