Beskrivning : The primary payload on this flight is the Space Radar Laboratory (SRL-2), making its second flight to study the Earth`s environment.
The SRL team is planning a series of data takes using the radar equipment as Endeavour moves over that area of the world. Those images will be compared with similar radar images gathered during the STS-59 mission in April, prior to the volcanic activity.
Taking such measurements on this flight helps understand changes in the distribution of carbon monoxide as well as other seasonal changes in the environment that have occurred since Endeavour`s last mission in April.
