By
Jeff Foust
Summary
NASA has selected the Dynamic Atmosphere-Ionosphere Explorer (DAPHNE) mission for development, a space science mission designed to study how space weather interacts with Earth's atmosphere. The mission will proceed into its next development phase with a launch planned no earlier than 2029. DAPHNE will investigate the interaction between space weather phenomena and Earth's ionosphere and atmosphere, helping scientists better understand how solar activity and other space weather events affect our planet's upper atmosphere.
