A NASA mission called APEP will launch three sounding rockets into the annular solar eclipse to measure changes in electric and magnetic fields, density, and temperature of the ionosphere.
The mission, known as Atmospheric Perturbations around the Eclipse Path or APEP, is led by Aroh Barjatya.
An Indian-origin scientist at NASA is helming a mission that aims to launch three rockets during the 2023 annular eclipse on October 14. �� Annular Eclipse 2023: Indian-Origin NASA Scientist To Lead Rocket Mission Into Solar Eclipse on October 14.
NASA is set to launch a mission called APEP to study how a solar eclipse affects the upper atmosphere. During an eclipse, the sudden drop in sunlight causes changes in the ionosphere, creating waves that ripple through this atmospheric layer. The APEP mission will involve launching three rockets equipped with scientific instruments to measure changes in electric and magnetic fields, density, and temperature.
The rockets will measure changes in electric and magnetic fields, density, and temperature in the ionosphere during the annular eclipse.
