NASA Launches CubeSat to Monitor Climate Change at Earth's Poles
TL;DR
NASA has launched a small satellite from New Zealand as part of the PREFIRE mission to improve climate change predictions by measuring heat escaping from Earth's poles. This data, collected for the first time, will enhance climate models and help understand the impact of polar climate change on global weather systems.
