Successful satellite launch will let NASA measure polar heat loss
Washington DC (UPI) May 25, 2024
NASA on Saturday successfully launched a satellite it hopes will be able to measure how much heat is lost to space from the Arctic and Antarctica. The small cube satellite, or CubeSat, lifted off at 3:41 a.m. in New Zealand aboard an Electron rocket manufactured by Rocket Lab. The launch took place at the California-based rocket maker's Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand.
