  • An image taken from the International Space Station shows orange swaths of airglow hovering in Earth’s atmosphere. NASA’s new Atmospheric Waves Experiment will observe this airglow from a perch on the space station to help scientists understand, and ultimately improve forecasts of, space weather changes in the upper atmosphere.
    Analyzing gravity waves at the edge of space
    Jeff Forbes is working on a research project slated for the International Space Station (ISS) to help us better understand and forecast conditions on the edge of space. NASA is funding the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) to analyze gravity (or β€œbuoyancy”) waves in a region of the upper atmosphere that can cause disruptions in...
