Most recent heater-based studies of magnetospheric processes and ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere (ITM) system couplings use the “virtual antenna” concept, which allows generation and injection ...

Scientists from NASA and three universities have presented new discoveries about the way heat and energy move and manifest in the ionosphere, a region of Earth's atmosphere that reacts to changes from ...

In May 2024, auroras were observed at unusually low latitudes across the globe, lighting up skies that rarely see such ...

Geomagnetic substorms transfer solar wind energy into the planetary magnetosphere and ionosphere, producing auroral displays and ground magnetic disturbances, particularly intense during the expansion ...

SMILE is a single spacecraft mission consists of two main elements: a 3-axis stabilized Platform (PF), consisting of a Service Module (SVM) and a Propulsion Module (PM) that provides the spacecraft ...

A team of researchers has identified the atmospheric mechanism behind one of planetary science’s most stubborn puzzles: why ...
