E-TBEx
- Enhanced Tandem Beacon Experiment
NASAs Enhanced Tandem Beacon Experiment, or E-TBEx, mission explores bubbles in the electrically-charged layers of Earths upper atmosphere, which can disrupt key communications and GPS signals that we rely on down on the ground. Such bubbles currently appear and evolve unpredictably and are difficult to characterize from the ground. But the more we understand them, the more we can mitigate their disruption of the myriad of radio signals that pass through Earths upper atmosphere.
