The ISR has numerous projects to explore the phenomenology of the Earth's ionosphere, the region of the Earth's upper atmosphere that is dominated by ions and free electrons. Investigations include ...

A November 2023 rocket failure from Elon Musk’s SpaceX actually bre the atmosphere. For the first time in mankind’s history, a hole was blown in the ionosphere […] ...

Because the ionospheric state is strongly affected by thermospheric winds, temperature, and compositions, and the thermosphere has a relatively long-term memory, this strategy can enhance the ...

SWORD will work to couple predictive models of the magnetosphere with models of the ionosphere-thermosphere-mesosphere (ITM) system and add upper atmospheric data assimilation to create the first ...
