NASA’s Twin CubeSats Capture Groundbreaking Far-Infrared Data from Polar Regions

NASA's Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-Infrared Experiment (PREFIRE) mission, utilizing two CubeSats, is successfully capturing unique data on the far-infrared radiation emitted from polar regions. This mission is focused on understanding Earth's energy balance by tracking heat escaping from the Arctic and Antarctica—an area that has not been extensively...
