This sounds like a great satellite, but who knows how long until they get it up. @SpaceflightNow: New NASA hurricane wind measurement mission could replace capability lost with failed QuikSCAT satellite. http://t.co/a8uV0mA9

According to the article sometime in 2017. "Eight microsatellites will launch together in 2017 on a single rocket, then deploy in low Earth orbit."

Awesome!!! I'm really glad they've gotten the funding secured for this project. Just five more years until it's operational...

I am not a meteorologist, and any posts made by me are not official forecasts or to be interpreted as being intelligent. These posts are just my opinions and are probably silly opinions.
