The satellites will study how solar radiation can disrupt radio signals and navigation systems.
Fluctuations in the ionosphere result in higher- and lower-density areas of ions, creating"bubbles" and"blobs" that can scatter radio signals, sometimes sending them crashing into each other in a phenomenon called scintillation.
The result is noisy radio signals, which can reduce the reliability of communication and navigation systems and even block signals, according to a NASA"If you put a pencil into a glass of water that's half full, the pencil appears broken," Linda Habash Krause, the project scientist for SPORT at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, said in the statement."What happens when you have bubbles? Similar to the pencil in the water, the signals go through ample bends.
