NASA's STORIE Mission Aims to Map Earth's Ring Current from the ISS
TL;DR
NASA's STORIE mission will be mounted on the International Space Station to image Earth's ring current from an inside-out perspective by detecting energetic neutral atoms, helping scientists determine whether ring-current particles come from the solar wind or Earth’s atmosphere, and improve space-weather predictions that affect satellites and power grids during a six-month mission.
