NASA's AWE mission — a telescope designed for the International Space Station by Utah State University's Space Dynamics Laboratory — is scheduled to launch from Kenedy Space Center on Thursday evening.
The Space Dynamics Laboratory AWE mission is scheduled to launch on Thursday evening from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
After years of research and development, a mission by Utah State University’s Space Dynamics Laboratory will finally begin to study atmospheric weather changes from the International Space Station. But first, the Logan-based technology will need to successfully launch from NASA Kennedy Space Center on Thursday evening.
“This is the first time that AGWs, especially the small-scale ones, will be measured globally at the mesopause, the gateway to the space,” said Michael Taylor, a Utah State physics professor and principal investigator for the mission,. “More importantly, this is the first time we will be able to quantify the impacts of AGWs on space weather.
