Edge of Space Found | LiveScience - 0 views

  • boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space
  • instrument developed by scientists at the University of Calgary
  • 73 miles (118 kilometers) above Earth's surface
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • astronauts can say they've been to space after only passing the 50-mile (80-kilometer) mark
  • space industry is also a somewhat arbitrary 62 miles (100 kilometers)
  • United States, however, has never officially adopted a set boundary standard
  • overflight rights of satellites and other orbiting bodies
  • NASA's mission control uses 76 miles (122 kilometers) as their re-entry altitude
  • shuttle switches from steering with thrusters to maneuvering with air surfaces
  • 13 million miles (21 million kilometers)
  • the boundary where Earth's gravity is no longer dominant
  • Supra-Thermal Ion Imager
  • tracking the relatively gentle winds of Earth's atmosphere and the more violent flows of charged particles in space
  • difficult to make measurements in this region, which is too high for balloons and too low for satellites
  • second time that direct measurements of charged particle flows have been made in this region
  • first time all the ingredients – such as the upper atmospheric winds – have been included
  • David Knudsen of the University of Calgary
  • carried by the JOULE-II rocket on Jan. 19, 2007
  • an altitude of about 124 miles (200 kilometers) above sea level and collected data for the five minutes it was moving through the "edge of space."
  • Journal of Geophysical Research on April 7
  • space weather and its impacts on Earth
  • calculate energy flows into the Earth's atmosphere that ultimately may be able to help us understand the interaction between space and our environment
  • link between sunspots and the warming and cooling of the Earth's climate
  • how space weather impacts satellites, communications, navigation, and power systems
