NASA Langley Research Center PolCube Mission Information Site
NASA Science ·
PolCube is a compact 12-unit (12U) CubeSat and multi-angle, multi-wavelength polarimeter instrument developed through an international collaboration — primarily involving NASA’s Langley Research Center and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI). It measures both the intensity and polarization of sunlight reflected off Earth across multiple angles and light wavelengths (410–864 nm) to characterize atmospheric particles and ocean properties.
