The researchers modeled the ionosphere as a series of thin layers whose vertical structure follows established electron density profiles, allowing slant GNSS signals to intersect multiple ionospheric ...

NASA plans to launch rockets from Kwajalein Atoll to study high-altitude cloud-like structures. The mission, called SEED, begins on June 13 and targets Sporadic-E layers in the ionosphere. Sporadic-E ...

Each day, radio signals from key communications and navigation satellites travel freely through a layer of Earth’s atmosphere known as the ionosphere. Floating 50 to 400 miles (80 to 643 kilometers) ...

With ESA’s Mars Express, scientists continue to gain new insight into the mysterious Martian environment. Some of the most exciting results are being sent back by the MARSIS (Mars Advanced Radar for ...

Probing a planet’s ionosphere can be all about the timing. Confusion about how many layers of charged particles exist in the Martian atmosphere might be due to what time of day measurements were made.

An astounding gamma-ray burst, dubbed GRB 221009A, continues to amaze even though it has been more than a year since it was detected. Scientists from Italy have recently published a study that shows ...

Most operational systems still use a single-layer ionosphere model with a fixed effective height, despite the ionosphere’s strong spatial, temporal, and solar-driven variability. This simplification ...
