Novel Ionosphere Images collected from the Wave Glider in the Pacific Ocean

Orion Space Solutions developed a novel camera system that collects images of the upper atmosphere ionosphere from the ocean surface. The Ocean Stabilized Ionospheric Remote Imaging Sensor (OSIRIS) was integrated onto the Wave Glider and recently launched for the first time. The system will help assess space weather dynamics, which affect Earth-based communications systems, power grids, and other crucial infrastructure.
