Electron Flight 48 | Ready, Aim, PREFIRE
Ready, Aim, PREFIRE deployed the first of NASA's twin Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment CubeSats into a 525-kilometre orbit. The pair was designed to cross the Arctic and Antarctic on complementary paths and measure far-infrared heat loss that had not previously been systematically observed from space.
