NASA’s PREFIRE Mission: Measuring Polar Heat Loss with Tiny Satellites
The first of two climate-focused CubeSats, which are small shoebox-sized satellites, waslaunched successfully on May 25 by NASA from Māhia, New Zealand, aboard Rocket Lab’sElectron rocket. These CubeSats are part of the PREFIRE mission (Polar Radiant Energy inthe Far-InfraRed Experiment) and they have been constructed to explore heat emissionsfrom Earth’s poles thereby providing vital information […]
