tsis-2
Launch

NASA's Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor-2 (TSIS-2) will measure the Sun's energy reaching Earth. This includes total solar irradiance (TSI), the overall Sun’s brightness, and spectral solar irradiance (SSI), the distribution of energy across different wavelengths. It is the latest mission for this important solar irradiance record that has been observed from space since 1978.
