Now we’re going to look at an innovation in how we monitor the earth from space. Dr. Vanderlei Martins is a professor of physics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. He’s tells us more about a type of satellite, called a CubeSat – so small you could carry it in a backpack.
Martins is the principal investigator of new project that uses this technology. He's working with students, professors and NASA engineers and scientists to build a CubeSat that will investigate aerosol particles and clouds in the atmosphere.
