Description:
Launching next: PREFIRE<br/><br/>The twin satellites of this mission, launching on separate rockets, will help improve climate models by measuring the amount of heat lost to space from Earth’s polar regions.<br/><br/>The mission starts with Earth’s energy budget. The amount of heat energy the planet receives from the Sun should ideally be offset by the amount it radiates into space. The difference between incoming and outgoing energy determines Earth’s temperature and shapes our climate.<br/><br/>Polar regions play a key role in the process, acting like Earth’s radiator fins. The stirring of air and water, through weather and ocean currents, moves heat energy received in the tropics toward the poles, where it is emitted as thermal infrared radiation – the same type of energy you feel from a heat lamp. Some 60% of that energy flows out to space in far-infrared wavelengths that have never been systematically measured.<br/><br/>PREFIRE can help close that knowledge gap. The first of two launches is scheduled for no earlier than May 25 from New Zealand. Tune in to watch the live broadcast: https://www.rocketlabusa.com/live-stream

_otd-in-space-june-12-venera-4-launches-on-mission-to-venus.webp "On June 12, 1967, Venera 4 was launched into space on a mission to Venus, thus becoming the first spacecraft to transmit data from another planet's atmosphere. <br/><br/>This was a Russian probe designed to study the atmosphere of Venus down to the surface. At first, scientists believed that the probe had transmitted until contact with the surface of Venus. But transmissions had ended at an altitude of 16 miles (or 27 kilometers), when the extreme temperatures and high atmospheric pressure crushed the probe.<br/>But from the data collected by Venera 4, we learned that the Venus' surface temperatures were 500 degrees Celsius and the pressure was 75 times more than Earth's. It also found that Venus' atmosphere was composed of 90 to 95 percent carbon dioxide with no nitrogen.")

That's nearly three days alone in space! The goal of Vostok 6 was to better understand the female body's reaction to spaceflight. Tereshkova was give the title Hero of the Soviet Union when she returned from her voyage. Vostok 6 was her only space mission.")
