January 16, 2013
Scheduled to launch in 2014, the GPM Core Observatory will carry the first space-borne Ku/Ka-band Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR), and a multi-channel GPM Microwave Imager (GMI). It will be supported by a network of partner-provided satellites to provide near-real-time precipitation measurements around the globe.
