It carries "an instrument to observe water-related targets such as precipitation, water vapor, sea surface wind speed, sea surface temperature, soil moisture, and snow depth."
To be launched May 18. The name "Shizuku" means "drop of water". See this link for a Mission overview. What impressed me was it's power budget of 4000 watts. Yowza. |
