NASA launching rockets to investigate mysterious ionospheric clouds disrupting global communication networks

NASA is embarking on the Sporadic-E ElectroDynamics (SEED) mission, launching rockets from Kwajalein Atoll to investigate unpredictable Sporadic-E layers in the ionosphere. These layers disrupt radio signals, impacting communication and navigation systems. The mission aims to understand their formation and behavior near the magnetic equator, enhancing prediction models to mitigate signal interruptions.
