CU Boulder Ships New Climate Instrument To Florida For November Launch

By Chris SpearsDENVER (CBS4) – A new space tool built at CU Boulder is now at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida where it will be prepared for a launch to space.
It’s called the Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor, or TSIS-1, and it will monitor how much sunlight hits the earth. That information will help study our planet’s climate.
The solar instrument is currently planned to hitch a ride to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in November.
