Delivered to the International Space Station today was a new instrument designed to track how small particles of dust can have a big impact on Earth's climate.
Among the experiments and supplies delivered to the International Space Station today was a new spectrometer instrument that could help show how small particles of dust can have a big impact on the Earth’s climate. The Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission will map the way different types of dust move across the planet’s surface and see how this affects temperatures.
EMIT will investigate 10 particular dust varieties and map where they originate and how they move across the planet’s surface, as dust particles can travel thousands of miles.
