Electron Flight 36 | Rocket Like A Hurricane
Rocket Like A Hurricane began a pair of dedicated Electron launches for NASA's Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats program. The mission deployed the first two TROPICS CubeSats into a low-inclination 550-kilometre orbit, where the constellation was designed to improve the frequency of microwave observations inside tropical cyclones.
