Through the Atmosphere Summer/Fall 2021

Earth Science has traditionally relied on large satellites to deliver data that informs research about our atmosphere. But now, two pioneering NASA missions, PREFIRE and TROPICS, are being developed by a new generation of scientists at SSEC and CIMSS. Both missions are employing the newest, miniaturized technologies in the form of CubeSats -- from mission design to launch in just a few years. Turn the page for more on these and other exciting research and education programs at SSEC and CIMSS.
