Summary

From Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, NASA Commentator Bruce Buckingham introduces live coverage of the launch of a Delta II rocket carrying CALIPSO_CloudSat. CALIPSO stands for Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation. It will fly in combination with the CloudSat satellite to provide never-before-seen 3-D perspectives of how clouds and aerosols form, evolve, and affect weather and climate. CALIPSO and CloudSat will join three other satellites in orbit to enhance understanding of climate systems.
