Description

Education mission that includes three payloads developed by schools in Maine.

  • The ALBEDO payload investigates the impact of albedo (fraction of solar irradiation reflected back into space) on local temperatures across urban and rural areas.
  • The IMAGER payload will study a low-cost remote sensing tool for coastal estuaries.
  • The HAB payload will study harmful algal blooms to see if they increase atmospheric temperature and water vapor levels in the atmosphere above them.
