TROPICS is a set of four CubeSats that will observe tropical storms and hurricanes much closer and in finer detail that typical satellites. NASA and Rocket Lab, a private rocket launch company, are targeting the first launch of the TROPICS mission this upcoming Sunday.The launch will include two of the CubeSats, and the launch will be based from Launch Complex 1 Pad B in Mahia, New Zealand.NASA is targeting 9 p.m. EDT for the start of the launch window.
The CubeSats are expected to provide volumes of high quality data that will help researchers and meteorologists better understand tropical systems and the atmosphere surrounding them.Some of the research goals include monitoring storm location and evolution and researching tropical rainfall and severe storms.
