About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA's International Space Station-RapidScat scatterometer instrument waits to be removed from the truck that delivered it to the Space Station Processing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. ISS-RapidScat is the first scientific Earth-observing instrument designed to operate from the exterior of the space station. It will measure Earth's ocean surface wind speed and direction, providing data to be used in weather and marine forecasting.
