you

2
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:38,119
the physical soul of life on earth is

3
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:55,520
but the world is a complicated place and

4
00:03:02,450 --> 00:02:58,810
water interacts with many and varied

5
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:02,460
forces whether

6
00:03:12,410 --> 00:03:09,510
climate politics people

7
00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:12,420
they all affect each other and since

8
00:03:51,550 --> 00:03:15,260
precipitation means fresh water

9
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:54,710
so much depends

10
00:04:20,020 --> 00:03:58,560
red wheelbarrow glazed with rain

11
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:23,470
so much depends on precipitation that's

12
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:26,320
why NASA and its partners are developing

13
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:31,210
GPM global precipitation measurement

14
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:39,889
this is the future this is the main

15
00:04:45,070 --> 00:04:43,130
vehicle the heart of the system this

16
00:04:48,159 --> 00:04:45,080
satellite will be the refinement of

17
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:48,169
years of remote sensing experience when

18
00:05:00,450 --> 00:04:50,510
launched it will be the most advanced

19
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:03,100
but the main vehicle cannot be

20
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:06,770
everywhere at once that's why it has

21
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:14,760
in complimentary orbits a constellation

22
00:05:29,210 --> 00:05:16,930
of additional satellites will also

23
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:31,880
many of these satellites will already be

24
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:34,020
in place by the time the principal

25
00:05:39,650 --> 00:05:37,050
vehicle launches a clever plan to

26
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:39,660
utilize existing satellite systems will

27
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:41,730
enable the project to cover most of the

28
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:49,710
earlier missions helped experts develop

29
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:52,210
the techniques to study precipitation by

30
00:05:57,689 --> 00:05:54,490
focusing on specific regions of the

31
00:05:59,580 --> 00:05:57,699
planet but the global reach of this

32
00:06:02,249 --> 00:05:59,590
integrated fleet will provide updates
