US-ARGENTINA-SPACE-CLIMATE-OCEANS
This NASA photo obtained on June 10, 2011 shows team members on May 3, 2011 as they conduct their final checks of NASA's Aquarius instrument at the Spaceport Systems International Integrated Processing Facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The US space agency on June 10, 2011 launched a satellite to observe levels of salt on the surface of the world's oceans and measure how changes in salinity may be linked to future climate. The Aquarius/SAC-D spacecraft launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at 7:20 am Pacific time (1420 GMT). The orbiting science instrument will aim to map the entire open ocean every seven days from its position 408 miles (657 kilometers) above Earth, producing monthly estimates that show how salt levels change over time and location.
