NASA Prepares for Second Launch in Polar Heat Study Mission

The PREFIRE mission's second CubeSat aims to enhance climate research by measuring Earth's polar heat emissions.

NASA's PREFIRE mission involves two CubeSats studying Earth's polar heat emissions.
The second CubeSat launch is scheduled for June 1 from New Zealand via Rocket Lab.
The first CubeSat launched successfully on May 25, collecting data on polar far-infrared radiation.
These satellites aim to improve understanding of polar heat loss, aiding climate change research.
The mission is a collaboration between NASA, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Rocket Lab.
