A 6-meter deployable mesh antenna on the SMAP satellite will gather soil moisture and freeze/thaw data. spotlight: Mapping Moisture. An MIT scientist will lead the science team designing a NASA satellite mission to collect global soil moisture measurements key to improving weather, flood and drought forecasts and predictions of agricultural productivity and climate change. At present, scientists have no network for gathering soil moisture data as they do for rainfall, winds, humidity and temperature.
