Additional information IT-SPINS
Provide the first two-dimensional (2D) tomographic imaging from a 3U research CubeSat, addressing the basic nature of the nocturnal ionosphere. Study how dominant O+ ions are lost to charge exchange with H and He atoms at the top of Earth?s ionosphere. This 6-month mission aims to strengthen our fundamental understanding for development of ion gradient structures in the topside of the Earth?s ionosphere and secondarily within regional phenomena such as equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) or polar patches.
