TL;DR

NASA is set to launch twin spacecraft as part of the PREFIRE mission to monitor heat lost from Earth's polar regions, aiming to improve climate models and understand the impact of climate change. The satellites will measure the full spectrum of heat lost from the poles, providing crucial data on atmospheric temperature, surface properties, water vapor, and clouds. The mission seeks to address the lack of data on how efficiently the poles radiate heat into space, ultimately helping scientists gain a more accurate understanding of climate change and its global effects.
