NASA's Twin Mini Satellites Captures Far-Infrared Radiation from Polar Regions
NASA’s PREFIRE mission, launched in 2024, is utilizing CubeSats to capture groundbreaking data on far-infrared radiation emitted from polar regions. These measurements, which track heat escaping from the Arctic and Antarctic, provide critical insights into Earth’s energy balance, a key component in understanding climate change. Despite encounte...

NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer Set to Explore Moon’s Water Cycle and Ice Locations
NASA’s upcoming Lunar Trailblazer mission aims to explore and map water on the Moon. Set for launch next year, this satellite will utilise advanced instruments to identify and measure water in various forms. It will investigate permanently shadowed craters and surface features to gather insights about lunar water's origins and its potential for f...

How A Pair Of Satellites, Both The Size Of A Car, Will Weigh Water On Earth
The reason we know today just how much ice is melting in Greenland and Antarctica is because of a pair of satellites, launched in 2002 by NASA and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). Now, they are set to be replaced by a more modern duo.

Arctic Sea Ice May Be Declining Faster Than Expected: Study
Arctic sea ice may be thinning faster than predicted because salty snow on the surface of the ice skews the accuracy of satellite measurements, a new study from the University of Calgary said on Tuesday.
