CryoSat-2 will monitor the effects of global warming on polar glaciers. The launch was postponed in late February for technical reasons.

The 140 million euro satellite, CryoSat-1, was built by the space company EADS Astrium for the European Space Agency. It went missing in October 2005 after the satellite"s Russian Rokot booster malfunctioned just a few minutes after blasting clear of the Plesetsk space center in northwest Russia. It later crashed into the Arctic Ocean.
