SMOS 10 years in orbit
SMOS has been in orbit for a decade. This remarkable satellite has not only exceeded its planned life in orbit, but also surpassed its original scientific goals. It was designed to deliver data on soil moisture and ocean salinity which are both crucial components of Earth’s water cycle. By consistently mapping these variables, SMOS is not only advancing our understanding of the water cycle and the exchange processes between Earth’s surface and the atmosphere, but is also helping to improve weather forecasts and contributing to climate research as well as contributing to a growing number practical everyday applications.

Amazing, congratulations for the 10 years operating, it's a very important study to understand our home planet Earth.
Keep the awesome work!
Hello, will be ESA launching new weather or earth imaging satellite in the near future? Thanks, and have a great day 🙂
Yay for SMOS and all the ESA scientists, engineers and many others who made this satellite a reality.
Thats very impressive
It’s been 10 years! This lady deserves a parking spot
Congratulations, ESA! Measure climate change in order to manage it! 👍
Europa ESA 👍💙
Go ahead ESA ❤️, from Portugal 🇵🇹 😘
Is their an ESA sponsored degree program in aerospace engineering available to British students.
Excellent an interesting!
^Hold on, Im coming. First working for you, then working with you – here i am. 😉
Studieng right now, have a night evening !
3:31 Look at this amazing wisteria. It's a legume, and legumes love the extra CO2 hanging around these days.
In order to help validating ESA's satellite data, at the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL we develop ground based L-band radiometers. Here's one in action near the North Pole https://youtu.be/jDPEnvZS5Wk
