NPU is the main Asian project coordinator in the European Union’s QB50 project, an international network of 50 cube-satellites investigating the lower thermosphere, and it has built one of the ...
The topmost layer, the thermosphere, is where ions from the upper atmosphere escape into the solar system. (NASA/Scott Sutherland) For the past 80 years or so, satellites could feel and detect ...
The team believe that plasmas in the thermosphere – 66 to 372 miles high – may descend into the lower atmosphere, and account for reports by pilots. Co-author Dr Rudolph Schild, of the Centre ...
Among the unique phenomena triggered by the event was the appearance of a huge spiral structure in the thermosphere, as well as the complete obliteration of the ionosphere in the mid-latitude region.
