NOAA Launches N-Prime Environmental Satellite
A new environmental satellite called the N-Prime was launched from Vandberg Air Force Base in California on February 6th. As we speak, the N-Prime satellite is orbiting the earth as we speak at a rate of 102 minutes. This new satellite will support 9 programs under NOAA that include traditional weather forecasting to fire detection, global vegetation analysis and even air methane levels. What is unique to this new satellite is that it will be able to track animal migratory patterns to help better understand our earth’s environment. This is a great video that goes into further details about this satelite:
