00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:11,170
NASA's newest temperature-sensing instrument passed its tests and is ready for space.

00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,980
The Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2) was built at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:33,840
and will measure water use in agricultural fields.

8
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:41,247
Plants and soil give off water, cooling the field

9
00:00:41,267 --> 00:00:45,680


10
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:47,880
TIRS-2 will measure temperature across the globe, tracking ice

11
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:50,680
TIRS-2 will measure temperature across the globe, tracking ice, fires,

12
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:52,730
TIRS-2 will measure temperature across the globe, tracking ice, fires, volcanoes, and more.

13
00:00:52,750 --> 00:00:57,760


14
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:04,603
After its testing, TIRS-2 is sent off for the next stage
