The satellite is planned to have three years of on-orbit operation.Calipso has three different viewing instruments, the cloud aerosol lidar, the imaging infrared radiometer and a wide field camera. All three instruments work continuously but the wide field camera only collects data during daylight conditions.This satellite will fly in formation with the Aura, PARASOL, Cloud Sat and Aqua satellites. <span style="color: rgb(0, 38, 255); font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; color: green;">Matthew Agoursalidis <br style="text-decoration: underline;">

Gravity Probe B

Gravity Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. Launched on April 20, 2004, from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., Gravity Probe B spent 17 months collecting data while in orbit around the Earth. Fifty weeks worth of data has been downloaded from the spacecraft and relayed to computers in the Mission Operations Center at Stanford University, Stanford, Calif. The experiment used four ultra-precise gyroscopes to produce the data required for this unprecedented test to precisely measure two effects predicted by Einstein's theory.One is the geodetic effect, the amount by which the Earth warps the local space time in which it resides. The other, called frame-dragging, is the amount by which the rotating Earth drags local space time around with it.
