Four CubeSats, one mission: to study tropical cyclones, like hurricanes. 🌀🌧️
NASA’s TROPICS mission is a constellation of small satellites, with the first of two launches scheduled for April 30, 2023.
Here are four things to know about TROPICS 👇
#NASAEarth
TROPICS will help scientists understand how tropical cyclones form and develop.
The satellites will collect information about a storm’s precipitation, temperature, and humidity – all important factors for the strength and longevity of a storm.
#NASAEarth
TROPICS will orbit Earth in two planes, collecting data on these storms nearly every hour and improving weather forecasts.
Current satellites provide information about a given storm about every six hours.

Forests do a lot for us , from cleaning our air and water to providing nature and beauty. #ArborDay 🌲🌳
America’s forests also absorb over 10% of annual greenhouse gas emissions, and old-growth forests generally store more carbon than younger forests. go.nasa.gov/3oLcvVg

Observing Exoplanets: What Can We Really See?
Exoplanets are far away, and they are often obscured by the bright light of the stars they orbit. So, taking pictures of them the same way you'd take pictures of, say, Jupiter or Venus, isn't easy.Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System
