SUMMARY:Liftoff: Firefly Alpha Block 2 | INCUS
DESCRIPTION:The Investigation of Convective Updrafts (INCUS) is a NASA Eart
 h science mission led by Colorado State University that will investigate t
 he behavior of tropical storms in order to better represent these storms i
 n weather and climate models. It consists of 3 SmallSats flying in tight c
 oordination to study why convective storms\, heavy precipitation\, and clo
 uds occur exactly when and where they form. \n\nEach satellite will have a
  high frequency precipitation radar that observes rapid changes in convect
 ive cloud depth and intensities. 1 of the 3 satellites also will carry a m
 icrowave radiometer to provide the spatial content of the larger scale wea
 ther observed by the radars. By flying so closely together\, the satellite
 s will use the slight differences in when they make observations to apply 
 a novel time-differencing approach to estimate the vertical transport of c
 onvective mass.\nFirefly Aerospace · Firefly Alpha Block 2\nThe clock is 
 only set to the day. It will move.\nhttps://liftoffclub.app/launches/c0dc7
