Exploring the Ionosphere: The View from GOLD (VIDEO)

NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

Caption

From its geostationary orbit, GOLD will have a continual view of Earth and its outer atmosphere. This visualization shows the view of Earth from GOLD. Because GOLD remains situated above the same geographic longitude, ICON will pass through its field of view. The two will take complementary measurements from different vantage points, making it easier to identify what caused a given change in the ionosphere. Download in HD:
