Satellite systems are a key part of many of the things we rely on each day, from air travel to power grids. In order to better understand how space weather can affect satellites, NASA is working to study atmospheric waves from the International Space Station. Utah State University’s Space Dynamics Lab recently reached a key milestone in this experiment.
Mike Taylor is a physics professor at USU and is the principal investigator for NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment. Until this project, he says the work of understanding how atmospheric weather affects the upper atmosphere was ground based.
