Released on April 21, 2015
With its antenna now spinning at full speed, NASA's new Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory has successfully re-tested its science instruments and generated its first global maps, a key step to beginning routine science operations next month.
Here these first maps have been prepared for use on NASA's hyperwall.
