NASA has launched two small satellites into the low Earth orbit (LEO) which can help better monitor hurricanes. The two storm-tracking satellites are a part of the TROPICS mission. The name is an acronym for Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation Structure and Storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats. This mission will ultimately improve weather forecasting for tropical cyclones.
