Polar Radiant Energy in the Far InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) Satellite 2 telemetry R01

Description

Polar Radiant Energy in the Far InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) Satellite 2 Telemetry (PREFIRE_SAT2_0-BUS-TLM) contains positioning and pointing information for one of two PREFIRE polar orbiting CubeSats. Both CubeSats carry a PREFIRE Thermal Infrared Spectrometer (TIRS-PREFIRE), a push broom spectrometer with 63 channels measuring mid- and far-infrared (FIR) radiation from approximately 5 to 53 µm. Most polar emissions are in the FIR but have not been measured on a large scale. PREFIRE aims to fill knowledge gaps in the global energy budget by more accurately characterizing polar emissions. This information will then be assimilated into global circulation and other climate models to predict future climates more accurately. This collection contains the time, beta angle, orbit position and velocity, and the quaternion of PREFIRE Satellite 2 (PREFIRE-SAT2). Combined with a Digital Elevation Map, these telemeters geolocate PREFIRE data on the Earth’s surface. Data retrieval started in May TBD, 2024, and is ongoing. Geographic coverage is global, with the greatest concentration of data in the polar regions. This data is retrieved at a frequency of 1Hz and is available in CSV format. Positioning and pointing information for the sister satellite, PREFIRE-SAT1, can be found in the PREFIRE_SAT1_0-BUS-TLM collection.
