New NASA satellites can predict droughts and floods

NASA satellites are now in addition to remote space exploration, providing knowledge of what extraterrestrial beings are able to monitor extreme weather events, predicting drought disasters.

NASA satellites have recently been tuned to focus on monitoring the earth itself from above, observing and researching climate change and its consequences. The team of space stations doing this work is on the rise, after a long time of delay, finally, the specialized satellite is responsible for monitoring weather phenomena capable of forecasting natural disasters. Han flood was expected to put on orbit.

SMAP is a satellite specialized to monitor changes in humidity on the earth's surface, providing visibility from outer space to humidity and its impact on areas. SMAP is designed to measure the moisture content of areas on the earth every 3 days or less. The data collected will help predict droughts and floods, help people to deal with and estimate crop yields, improve people's understanding of the process and variation of lines. moisture, its effect on weather and life.

SMAP is designed with antennas similar to robotic arms, which can be moved and rotated around the axis every 4 seconds, which helps the antenna to create a profile of moisture content on the earth's surface, calculated Moisture content based on microwave signals.

NASA satellites called SMAP will provide valuable information about earth weather.(Illustration)

The information collected will be sent back to the earth for analysis, from which it is possible to predict where drought will occur or if there will be floods, to help people actively find countermeasures, it may even indicates the close relationship of groundwater with the carbon cycle and the stability of the weather.

It is expected that NASA's SMAP satellite will be launched on orbit on January 29.
