NASA's DAPHNE Mission to Study How Earth's Atmosphere Influences Space Weather
By
Lauren E. Low
Summary
NASA has selected the DAPHNE (Dynamic Atmosphere-Ionosphere Explorer) mission concept to advance into Phase B development. The mission will use twin satellites to study how changes in Earth's lower atmosphere affect the upper atmosphere and space weather. The goal is to improve predictions of space weather impacts on critical technology like GPS, low Earth orbit satellites, and astronauts in space.

· 3 pulledNASA selected a mission concept to research how space weather and dynamics within Earth's atmosphere influence the space environment and help improve prediction capabilities for impacts on crucial technology, such as GPS and low Earth orbit satellites, as well as astronauts in space.
The DAPHNE (Dynamic Atmosphere-Ionosphere Explorer) mission will enter Phase B of development, which includes planning and design for flight and mission operations.
It will use identical twin satellites to study how changes in Earth's lower atmosphere influence our planet's upper atmosphere, where space weather i
