While the International Space Station (ISS) was orbiting above South America, Pettit recorded what are known as Transient ...

Dusty plasma is plasma containing small particles in suspension. In industry, dust is a contaminant and this is a motivation for its removal from semiconductor processing lines, smokestacks, and ...

SOME years ago considerable discussion took place concerning the relation between the constitution of the ionosphere and its refractive index for radio waves. The question at issue was whether the ...

ISR researchers work closely with the Air Force Research Laboratory supporting the Plasma Chemistry Laboratory and the Space Chemistry Laboratory located at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The new study revealed that the Moon’s ionosphere exhibits unexpectedly high electron densities when it enters the Earth’s geomagnetic tail. This finding sheds new light on how plasma behaves ...

Observations from NASA’s GOLD mission shows charged particles in the ionosphere forming an X shape on Oct. 7, 2019. (The colors indicate the intensity of the ultraviolet light emitted ...

The Ionosphere Monitoring and Prediction Center (IMPC) is based at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation in ...

The Department for Space Weather Observations investigates and applies ionosphere measurement and inversion techniques using ground and space borne sensors. The observational data are used to ...

Multi-spacecraft scientific missions for space physics have been flown since the 1960s with early missions such as IMP, VELA, Helios, and ISEE. Much of the success in understanding the Earth's ...
