Rocket Lab Scrubs Launch of NASA's PREFIRE Climate Satellite

Rocket Lab delayed the launch of NASA's PREFIRE satellite due to a sensor issue.

PREFIRE will study heat loss from Earth's polar regions using two cubesats.

A new launch date will be announced soon, with several opportunities in the coming days.

PREFIRE satellites are small, shoebox-sized cubesats designed for polar research.

The mission aims to measure far-infrared radiation from the Arctic and Antarctic.

Data will help scientists understand the role of far-infrared energy in global warming.

Rocket Lab is working towards making the Electron rocket's first stage reusable.

The first PREFIRE satellite was successfully launched on May 25, 2024.

Murdoch's media empire includes The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and other major outlets.
