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 Nasa’s PREFIRE mission (Polar Radiant Energy inthe Far-InfraRed Experiment) and they have been constructed to explore heat emissionsfrom Earth’s poles thereby providing vital […]
