The ionosphere stretches from 50 to 400 miles above the planet and marks the boundary between our planet’s atmosphere and outer space. While it houses most satellites orbiting the Earth, it’s ...
Fresh findings about the edge of Earth's atmosphere are puzzling scientists affiliated with two missions that launched this year, and then some. This zone, at an altitude of roughly 50 to 400 miles ...
The ionosphere -- the region of geospace spanning from 60 to 1000 kilometers above the Earth -- impairs the propagation of radio signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) with its ...
On November 13, 2020, a pair of European Space Agency spacecraft—Mars Express and the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter—set out to gain a deeper understanding of the Martian ionosphere. Utilizing an advanced ...
A dense layer of molecules and electrically charged particles, called the ionosphere, hangs in the Earth's upper atmosphere starting at about 35 miles (60 kilometers) above the planet's surface and ...
On April 3rd, 2014, a satellite carrying a U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) space weather instrument will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base. Called the Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager ...
Electron density of the Ionosphere around the Earth for a certain point of time: high values in red, low values in blue. The white line marks the geomagnetic equator ...
