A little CubeSat 🛰 seeking clouds ☁️ and aerosols is aboard and ready for launch! The Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter 🌈 (HARP) model is currently in the @NASA_Wallops visitor center 🌎 🚀 @NASASocial

@NASAWallops31 Oct 2019
Antares and Cygnus spent several hours standing tall on the launch pad for a series of system checks. 🚀🛰️ They're now horizontal so late-load cargo can be packed into Cygnus just before liftoff of @NorthropGrumman's CRS-12 mission.

A new CubeSat will soon launch from @NASA_Wallops to the @ISS_research! This tiny satellite will see rainbows 🌈, measuring clouds ☁️ and particles in the atmosphere to help us better understand air quality, weather and climate change. go.nasa.gov/2NmbdJX

NASA’s next attempt to map invisible specks in the atmosphere that impact climate change and air quality started from a window seat over the Pacific.

New @NASA-funded tech will help small Earth 🌍satellites 🛰️ coordinate their movements while in orbit to create a more complete picture of storms and other phenomena. Read more from the NASA Earth Science Technology Office: go.nasa.gov/2mX4Jrt
The image shows a STARS simulation of the orbits of four satellites (A, B, C and D) involved in a coordinated observation. The satellites are in distinct orbit planes so they rely on dynamic planning of multi-hop communication links to ensure they can queue other instruments to take high-priority measurements.

A shoebox-sized satellite got an inside look at #HurricaneDorian to reveal the storm's many layers. ESTO provided funding to @ColoradoStateU, @NASAJPL and @BlueCanyonTech to develop the CubeSat. disasters.nasa.gov/hurricane…
#TBT to @NASAJPL #CubeSat RainCube deploying from the @ISS_Research back in June 2018! RainCube is a tech demo that proved we can put a radar on a tiny toaster-sized satellite.

A satellite 🛰️ so small you can hold it, TEMPEST-D is currently circling the globe, helping us better understand hurricanes, storms ⛈️ and other weather events. Read about this ESTO-funded project led by @ColoradoStateU researcher Steven Reising here. thedenverchannel.com/news/lo…

It's the size of a briefcase, but this Colorado satellite can see inside a hurricane

The TEMPEST-D satellite is about the size of a briefcase, with a beige and gray exterior and two solar panels that extend from its aluminum sides as it floats through space.
