NASA surprised the whole planet today with the launch of ICON, or Ionospheric Connection Explorer, i.e. a spacecraft that reaches Earth's orbit after several years of delayed launches by the Americans. ICON is a spaceship that will operate on the basis of solar energy, those from NASA launching it to detect and analyze the changes that take place in the Earth's ionosphere, so that it knows how we are affected by them when they happen.
NASA he knows that the ionosphere is constantly bombarded by all kinds of radiation that travel through the universe towards the Earth, but also by the atmosphere of the planet, or by all the gases that were the basis of the problems regarding global warming. NASA wants to analyze how particles move through the ionosphere in order to discover how affected the Earth's ionosphere is at the moment, and what could be done to solve the existing problems.

NASA she also made a presentation for ICON in the video clip above, she was sent into outer space yesterday, so now she is active and has already started sending data to the American space agency. NASA will receive data that will help it find out why communications between Earth and space are affected by the ionosphere, why some spacecraft break down faster in this area, and whether people's health is affected by it.
NASA says that until the launch of ICON, it was extremely difficult for him to analyze this area of the atmosphere, and this because it is too low for exploration with most ships, and too high for balloons. Moreover, NASA will also find out how the upper part of the atmosphere interacts with the universe that surrounds our planet, so extremely many very important data will reach the American space agency.
NASA wants ICON to stay as long as possible in the ionosphere to analyze as much as possible of what is happening around our Earth, and all humanity will benefit from everything that will be recorded.
