Sounding rocket C-REX2 launched December 1st from Andoya Research Range, Norway. Grad student Magda Moses from the 317 lab, and UAF/GI grad student Matt Blandin, are in the field for this. First reports are excellent science conditions and instrument performance. The mission studies the Earth's auroral cusp.

I study the plasma physics of the northern lights using NASA sounding rockets in the context of ground-based observations. My work focuses on developing distributed sets of observations so that we can learn how the electric and magnetic fields controlling the aurora work. (Photo by Robert Gill)
