NASA is gearing up to launch
tiny satellites into space that will help keep a closer eye on tropical storms as they develop in a mission called TROPICS
Crucially, if the launches
are successful, the satellites will mark a big advancement in our ability to watch rapidly intensifying storms.
NASA’s weather satellites
can only check in on a storm every four to six hours, missing a lot of what’s happening in the storm
The new set of six
satellites NASA plans to launch should shrink that timeframe significantly, giving researchers updates about every hour.
The agency expects to
launch the first two satellites as early as June 12th, with two more launches scheduled for later in the year.
Each satellite is just under
a foot long and equipped with a powerful instrument, a mini microwave radiometer that’s about as big as a cup of coffee.
