NASA has set up its new equipment in the International Space Center (ISS) to measure the energy released from the sun for a long time. NASA said, the tool Total and Spectral Solar Iradiation Sensor (TSIS-1) has been fully operational in March this year with the collection of science data.
TSIS-1 project scientist Dong Woo said in NASA, TSIS-1 has increased its long record of data, which will help us understand the impact of the Earth's radiation budget, the ozone layer, the effect of the sun on atmospheric circulation, climate change .
TSIIS-1 studies the total amount of light energy emitted by the Sun, using the total radiation monitor from one of the two sensor boards.
Sensor data will help the scientists to understand the primary energy supply of the earth and it will provide information to improve the environment of the planet.
On the other hand, the second sensor will measure how the sun's energy is divided into light, transparent and infrared areas.
