NASA’s PREFIRE mission to study Earth’s polar regions to launch on THIS date. All you need to know

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is set to launch its latest mission known as the Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-Infrared Experiment. The space agency will launch twin shoebox-size climate satellites which will study two of the most remote regions on Earth - the Arctic and Antarctic. The first named "Ready, Aim, PREFIRE," is scheduled to launch no earlier than May 22 while the second cubesat, "PREFIRE and ICE," is set to launch few days after the first, the report added. Data from the PREFIRE mission will help improve the understanding of the greenhouse effect at the poles specifically, the capacity of water vapor, clouds, and other elements of Earth’s atmosphere to trap heat and keep it from radiating into space.
