Description:
Glory will improve measurements of two critical parts of the climate system: small airborne particles called aerosols and a measure of the sun’s output called total solar irradiance (TSI). This guide is a resource for science writers and journalists, providing contact information for experts working on the mission; information on the spacecraft, its instruments, and the science behind the Glory mission; feature stories about aerosols, the sun’s energy, and how these elements affect our climate.
*Glory was lost in a vehicle launch failure.
