ARLA/CLUSTER: Missão da NASA vai estudar as perturbações nas ondas de radio

[João Gonçalves Costa]

NASA mission to study what disrupts radio waves

A NASA-funded sounding rocket mission will launch from an atoll in the Pacific in the next few weeks to help scientists better understand and predict the electrical storms in Earth's upper atmosphere.

These storms can interfere with satellite communication and global positioning signals.

The mission, called EVEX, for the Equatorial Vortex Experiment, will launch two rockets for a twelve-minute journey through the equatorial ionosphere above the South Pacific.

The launch window for the mission from the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands is from April 27 to May 10, 2013.
