A pair of CubeSat satellites will probe a little-studied portion of the radiant energy emitted by the complex Arctic environment for clues to why the region is warming faster than the rest of the planet. This 2011 composite satellite image shows the expanse of Arctic sea ice (center) and the Greenland Ice Sheet (lower right). Credits: NASA
