ISS Detects Mysterious Phenomenon 55 Miles Above Earth

The International Space Station, using NASA's Atmospheric Wave Instrument (AWE), detected atmospheric waves 55 miles above Earth during Hurricane Helene's impact on Florida. These waves, invisible from the ground, highlight how severe weather can affect the mesosphere, a high atmospheric layer. Such disturbances can influence satellite operations by altering air density, underscoring the interconnectedness of Earth's weather and space conditions. This discovery aids in understanding atmospheric dynamics and improving satellite resilience.
