RT @NeelieKroesEU: 1st #satellite dedicated to broadband services to #EU launches on an Ariane5 rocket. http://tiny.cc/bbsatellite #bro ...
"The European Space Agency (ESA) said the £282m device was put into space in the early hours of Monday morning to gauge the impact of climate change on the movement of water across land, air and sea.
It was lifted into space on a Russian Rockot launcher from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia.
As the first space-based measure of the water in Earth's soil and the saltiness of its oceans, scientists hope SMOS will be able to fill important gaps in our knowledge about the planet's vital water cycle. "
