NASA Launches Satellite to Study Earth's Polar Climate
TL;DR
NASA has launched the first of two CubeSats for the PREFIRE mission to study heat emissions from Earth's poles. The data collected will help improve predictions of sea ice loss, ice sheet melt, and sea level rise, enhancing our understanding of climate change impacts. The second CubeSat will launch soon, and the mission will operate for 10 months.
