Staff Writer Paul Voosen talks with host Sarah Crespi about how a microsatellite-based project for measuring hurricane wind speeds is showing signs of success\u2014despite unexpected obstacles from the U.S. military\u2019s tweaking of GPS signals.      Also this week, Sarah talks with graduate student Samantha Trumbo, a Ph.D. candidate in planetary science at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, about spotting chloride salts on the surface of Jupiter\u2019s moon Europa. What can these salts on the surface tell us about the oceans that lie beneath Europa\u2019s icy crust?    This week\u2019s episode was edited by Podigy.   Ads on the show: KiwiCo.com; MagellanTV   Listen to previous podcasts   About the Science Podcast   [Image: Image Credit: NASA\/JPL-Caltech\/SETI Institute; Music: Jeffrey Cook]    ++ Authors: Sarah Crespi; Paul Voosen ","author_name":"Science Magazine Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.sciencemag.org","html":"
