The DYNamics Atmosphere GLObal-Connection two 6U CubeSat mission fills a crucial observation gap in the ionosphere-thermosphere (I-T) region.

Description

The DYNamics Atmosphere GLObal-Connection (DYNAGLO) CubeSat mission fills a crucial observation gap in the ionosphere-thermosphere region. DYNAGLO will be the first of its kind, providing global thermosphere gravity wave measurements and allowing their characteristics to be correlated with known gravity wave sources.

This mission will help us understand how atmospheric gravity waves, caused by variations in the densities of different pockets of air, contribute to the energy and momentum balance in the thermosphere. Its observations will complement NASA’s upcoming Atmospheric Waves Experiment and help fill the “thermosphere gap” in measurements between 75 and 250 miles (about 120 to 400 kilometers), allowing us to study in unprecedented detail how terrestrial weather shapes space weather from below.
