Nasa To Talk Over Novel Polar Climate Mission During Media Teleconference
NASA is hosting a media telephone call at iii p.one thousand. EDT, Wed, May 15, to hash out the agency's PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment) mission, which aims to amend life on earth past studying heat loss from earth'sec polar regions as well as supply information on our changing climate.
The start of ii shoebox-sized satellites is targeted to launch aboard a Rocket Lab Electron rocket no before than Wed, May 22. The launch date for the second satellite volition live announced soon subsequently the launch of the showtime satellite.
Earth absorbs a lot of free energy from the Dominicus at the torrid zone. Weather and sea currents move that rut energy toward the poles, where the oestrus radiates up into infinite. Much of that heat is inwards far-infrared wavelengths in addition to has never been systematically measured. The data from PREFIRE volition address this noesis gap for the do good of all by improving predictions of climate change as well as ocean level rising.
The sound-entirely teleconference streamed live on the way's website.
Participants include:Karen St. Germain, manager, globe Science Division, NASA Headquarters inwards Washington
Mary White, projection managing director, PREFIRE, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Southern California
Tristan L'Ecuyer, principal investigator, PREFIRE, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Peter Beck, CEO and founder, Rocket Lab
