Associated space launch
CloudSat is a satellite which uses millimeter-wavelength radar to measure the altitude and properties of clouds. Advanced cloud-profiling radar gathers information on the vertical structure of highly dynamic cloud systems. This new information provides the first global measurements of cloud properties that will help scientists compile a database of cloud measurements to improve how clouds are represented in global climate and numerical weather prediction models.
DELTA 2 DEB (DPAF) was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Delta 7420-10C | Cloudsat’, on board a Delta 7420-10C space rocket.
The launch took place on April 28, 2006, 10:02 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 2W.
