Libera Program
NASA’s Libera Earth-radiation instrument mission will maintain the decades-long record of energy leaving Earth’s atmosphere. The instrument is targeted for launch in 2027 on NOAA’s JPSS-4 satellite (NOAA-22), measuring how solar radiation interacts with clouds, aerosols, and the atmosphere to support Earth-system and climate research.
