Electron | TROPICS-2
Rocket Lab Ltd | USAWallops Island, Virginia, USA
TBD May, 2023
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Third and fourth operational (TROPICS-04 & TROPICS-05) satellites for NASA's Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation Structure and Storm Intensity with a Constellation of SmallSats (TROPICS) mission. The CubeSats are designed to provide rapid-refresh microwave measurements that can be used to determine temperature, pressure, and humidity inside hurricanes as they form and evolve.
