任务简介

NASA的“利用小卫星星座对降水结构和风暴强度进行时间分辨观测”（TROPICS）任务的最后两颗运行卫星（TROPICS-06和TROPICS-07）。这些立方星旨在提供快速更新的微波测量数据，可用于确定飓风形成和演变过程中的温度、气压和湿度。

Last two operational (TROPICS-06 & TROPICS-07) 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.
