Welcome to NASA Direct's prelaunch webcast for CALIPSO-CloudSat mission -- two
satellites designed to study clouds and aerosols in our atmosphere. I'm your host, Tiffany Nail.
We begin with a word from the director of NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Mr. Jim Kennedy.
Hello. I'm Jim Kennedy, director of NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center.
Thank you for tuning in to NASA's webcast for the CALIPSO/CloudSat mission.
CALIPSO/CloudSat is a unique Earth-science mission launching two satellites on a single Delta II rocket.
The combined mission of CALIPSO/CloudSat aims to study the role that clouds,
airborne particles and precipitation play in regulating the Earth's weather.
Thank you again for joining us today and enjoy the CALIPSO/CloudSat webcast.
