Finding an IceCube in space…
A tiny NASA payload, known as IceCube or Earth-1, will demonstrate and validate a new 874-gigahertz submillimeter-wave receiver that could help advance scientists’ understanding of ice clouds and their role in climate change. The remote sensing instrument is capable of providing an accurate assessment of the distribution of atmospheric ice. The IceCube mission – a 3U CubeSat – launched from the International Space Station (ISS) on May 16, 2017. The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Flight Dynamics Facility (FDF) operated by Omitron, was tasked with providing acquisition data based upon ISS orbital information and the planned deployment characteristics of IceCube.
