ICESat-2 and Its Contribution in Understanding Climate Change

ICESat-2 has harvested more data than its predecessor and it helps scientists, big time. Satellite launching -- especially those that are observing Earth -- is not exactly news unless of course, the satellites are from private companies like SpaceX or Boeing so when NASA's observation satellite ICESat-2 was launched last September 2018, it was regarded as just another day at work.

Images were captured documenting the situation from every angle, even evaluated the soil and the rocks in the area and mimicked those characteristics here on Earth to do some testing. As if like the mole is already tired of the whole mission, the camera was able to document that the mole popped out of Martian crust.
