    Never ceases to amaze me what they can do.

    Global maps should be produced every six months. The plan is for Biomass to gather at least five years' worth of data.
    "We'll know their weight and their height at a scale of 200m, and we'll see how they are changing over time.

    Thats going to give us a very good idea as to growth rates of forest in specific areas and also deforestation in others.
    Biomass will be permitted under international telecommunications rules to operate everywhere except the far north of the Americas and northern Europe.
    Military priority for the detection of missiles means the satellite will have to turn off its radar in these regions.

    :eek: hope that dosn't include us... :D
