00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:11.170
NASA's newest temperature-sensing instrument passed its tests and is ready for space.

00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:14.980


4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.380


5
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
