Description: |
For over 30 years NASA has flown instruments in space to precisely measure how Earth absorbs and reflects solar energy, key factors in understanding our climate. NASA has been developing a next-generation sensor to collect this type of data - the Radiation Budget Instrument (RBI). However, RBI has experienced significant technical issues and substantial cost growth over the past two years. Because of these challenges NASA has decided to discontinue development of RBI.
