Post launch report on the heat capacity mapping mission
Abstract
The heat capacity mapping mission (HCMM) is reviewed. Launch and early flight operation, final orbit and ground coverage, orbital maintenance, the science instrument and data, spacecraft attitude, command and telemetry, thermal, and power systems and end-of-life tests are summarized. Geological surveys, agriculture, geology, hydrology, surface temperature mapping, soil to agriculture, meteorology/climatology, information techniques, evapotranspiration, snowmelt runoff, and satellite infrared radiometer calibration are areas for which results are discussed.
