NASA has successfully launched the first of two research satellites under the Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) mission planning to measure the heat lost to space from Earth’s polar regions. This PREFIRE mission will enhance our understanding of how elements like water vapor and clouds trap heat, informing climate models and improving predictions on the impacts of climate change.
