Day in Review: NASA Uses New Technology to Understand California Wildfires

 
Day in Review

February 28, 2025

Technology
The Compact Fire Infrared Radiance Spectral tracker, or C-FIRST, is managed an operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Developed at NASA JPL, the science instrument gives researchers a more detailed picture of high-temperature surfaces, such as land scorched by wildfire, than previous infrared instruments. Full Story

Solar System
A spacecraft with blue solar panels and a reflective metallic body orbits in space against a dark background. A bright light source illuminates the spacecraft, creating a lens flare effect. The satellite appears to be in motion, positioned at an angle.
The small satellite mission will map the Moon to help scientists better understand where its water is, what form it's in, how much is there, and how it changes over time. Full Story and Images

Solar System
This artist's concept depicts NASA's Europa Clipper as it flies by Mars
The orbiter bound for Jupiter's moon Europa will investigate whether the moon is habitable, but it first will get the help of Mars' gravitational force to get to deep space. Full Story and Video
