NSF spotlight on CU Â鶹ӰԺ CubeSat project
The National Science Foundation is highlighting the SWARM-EX CubeSats.
The three cube satellite project, formally titled Space Weather Atmospheric Reconfigurable Multiscale Experiment (SWARM-EX), is an initiative of six universities, led by the Â鶹ӰԺ.
"The thermosphere and ionosphere system — the start of what we often think of as 'outer space' — is a highly variable and complex region of our atmosphere contributing to space weather," said Scott Palo, a professor in Smead Aerospace and principal investigator for SWARM-EX.
