Summary edit

Description	English: Testing of the rotating radar antenna on NASA's International Space Station-RapidScat concludes in the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Built at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory JPL in California, the radar scatterometer is the first scientific Earth-observing instrument designed to operate from the exterior of the space station. It will measure Earth's ocean surface wind speed and direction, providing data to be used in weather and marine forecasting. ISS-RapidScat will be delivered to the station on the SpaceX-4 commercial cargo resupply flight targeted for August 2014.
