Hunter's comment

The name stands for Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 and you can read the one page summery The laser pulses 10,000 times a second with a wavelength of 532 nano meters (It's Green!)

Watch The Event Live As It Is Happening Today!

ICESat-2 is being launch on a Delta II rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and it should be up in the sky by the time you are reading this. The satellite will store at least 580Gb (Gigabits) of data each day and it flies at 4.3 miles per second.

    Unfortunately I saw a little bit late and missed the launch. I am always interested in Nasa and It is exciting to watch live stream.

    Can it be used on earth, if it is used for ice lasers, it should also be used at the poles

    Great Hunt

    Currently watching the live stream. Unfortunately I missed the launch. Good that we can rewind live streams these days. The launch went well. The lift off was beautiful but the scenery didn't last long like movies. NASA should invite some cinematographers to their live streams.

    I'm looking forward for a time where NASA gets more attention than NSA and Military Industrial Complex.
