Space Force weather cubesat went up on SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket

One of the many payloads that took flight atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday (Jan. 3) is a tiny craft that could help transform the way the U.S. Space Force gathers weather data.

The SpaceX mission, known as Transporter-6, sent a total of 114 small satellites to Earth orbit for a variety of customers, including the Space Force. The newest branch of the U.S. military put its Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Weather Systems (EWS) cubesat on Transporter-6.
