Ionosphere-Thermosphere Storm Probes
ID: ionosphere-thermosphere-storm-probes
The Ionosphere-Thermosphere Storm Probes (ITSP) is a proposed space mission aimed at studying the ionosphere and thermosphere, which are critical layers of Earth's atmosphere that play significant roles in various processes, including satellite communications, GPS accuracy, and space weather phenomena. The mission would involve deploying a constellation of satellites to observe and measure the effects of storms in these atmospheric layers, particularly focusing on the responses to space weather events like solar flares and geomagnetic storms.
