This plugin enables vegetation health monitoring (NDVI), surface temperature mapping\u2014complementing satellite observations by providing ground-based measurement comparisons to help understand what satellites observe from space. By providing spectral bands that align with operational NASA missions, the RS-B plugin breaks down barriers that make remote sensing seem inaccessible, transforming abstract satellite measurements into tangible, hands-on science. STELLA compliments and serves as an educational bridge, creating mission-literate students and professionals who understand and can work with NASA&#8217;s Earth observation data. The new RS-B module offers superior reliability through soldered connections instead of connector-only assembly, significantly reducing field failures and improving long-term measurement stability.<\/p><p><strong>Important for beta users<\/strong>: The official <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/science.gsfc.nasa.gov\/stella\/instruments\/stella-1-2\/\">STELLA-1.2<\/a><\/strong> requires new housing and is <strong>not compatible with beta sensor modules<\/strong>.
