Summary

The April 21, 2006 launch of the Delta II carrying CALIPSO_CloudSat from Vandenberg Air Force Base is scrubbed following a communications problem with the CALIPSO spacecraft. 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.
