Description Mission Smap Smap, or soil moisture active passive, is an earth satellite mission that measures and maps earth's soil moisture and freeze thaw state to better understand terrestrial water, carbon and energy cycles. Smap is a directed mission of the national aeronautics and space administration. the smap project is managed for nasa by the jet propulsion laboratory, with participation by the goddard space flight center.
Description Mission Smap Nasa's soil moisture active passive (smap) mission's purpose is to measure the amount of water in the top 5cm of soil everywhere on earth's surface every 2 to 3 days. smap orbits earth at 685 km (426 mi) above the surface and has a period of 98.5 minutes. Smap, or soil moisture active passive, is an earth satellite mission that measures and maps earth's soil moisture and freeze thaw state to better understand terrestrial water, carbon and energy cycles. Smap is an orbiting observatory measuring surface soil moisture globally, crucial for weather, drought, flood, and agriculture applications. the smap mission uses an l band passive radiometer. Smap stands for soil moisture active passive. it is the name of the mission, a satellite observatory consisting of both an active radar and a passive radiometer sharing a common l band feed horn.

Launched in january 2015, the soil moisture active passive (smap) mission consists of an imaging radar satellite whose operations are led by the national aeronautical and space administration (nasa), with assistance from the canadian space agency (csa). Smap, or soil moisture active passive, is an earth satellite mission that measures and maps earth's soil moisture and freeze thaw state to better understand terrestrial water, carbon and energy cycles. Smap (soil moisture active passive) is a nasa mission using a microwave radiometer and radar to measure global soil moisture and freeze thaw state. it provides high resolution data critical for weather prediction, climate studies, hydrology, and agriculture. Description
the smap mission objective is to provide global measurements of soil moisture and its freeze thaw state. smap measures the amount of water in the top 5 cm (2 inches) of soil everywhere on the earth’s surface every three days.
