Decoding the Sky: How Earth’s Weather Impacts the Final Frontier

The Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) has successfully wrapped up its 30-month tenure aboard the International Space Station, fundamentally changing our understanding of how terrestrial weather influences the space environment. By utilizing advanced sensors to track ‘airglow’—faint bands of light in the upper atmosphere—the mission mapped the movement of atmospheric gravity waves. These invisible ripples, triggered […]
