NTSpace working for JAXA, the Japanese Space Agency.

Art: The radars once they arrive here, they go through some

processing, make sure during the shipment there was no damage done to

10
00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:40.330
the radars, even though we do have shock monitors on the boxes that we make sure there

00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:44.370
was no unexpected

incidents happened during the transportation

However, in spite of that, we still go through

Candace: The Dual Precipitation Radar, or DPR, has two parts:

21
00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:24.680
the first is the KaPR and the second is the

22
00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:28.710
KuPR, those are two different bands. And it

23
00:01:28.730 --> 00:01:32.740
provides simultaneous measurements in both of the bands,

24
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.750
and it can be used to make combined products together with

25
00:01:36.770 --> 00:01:40.770
the GMI that allow the scientists to determine a lot more

26
00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:44.780
about precipitation, from rain, through snow, be it light

27
00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:48.830
or be it heavy, than they know today.
