NASA's tiny satellites-late 2

NASA recently shot off an plane that carried a rocket up into the sky. The plane releases the rocket and shoots up into space releasing 8 mini satellites into orbit, that would hopefully improve hurricane forecasts. The rocket was about 40,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean east of Cape Canaveral before it released the rocket. This is the first time ever for this scenario to happen. The satellites will measure the near-surface ocean winds in hurricanes, typhoons, and other tropical cyclones around Earth. It is called the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS). Scientist are really trying to look for the winds underneath the storm's clouds because they can not see that exact path. Hopefully the satellites will read and work the way the scientist want it to.
