BOULDER, Colo.—Cameras built by Colorado-based Ball Aerospace & Technologies and an instrument built by a University of Colorado lab will be aboard a U.S. climate-monitoring satellite scheduled to be launched on Wednesday.
NASA’s Glory satellite will carry two cameras made by Ball that are designed to photograph clouds and a device built by CU’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics to measure fluctuations in the sun’s output.
Glory will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.
All the instruments on Glory are designed to study the causes and consequences of climate change. The mission is scheduled to last three years.
