Dr. Scott Budzien and Dr. Andrew Nicholas hold a model of NRL's SSULI, an instrument to measure ionospheric density from an orbiting satellite, which will launch on April 3rd. "What's really important is that [SSULI] helps provide a very good specification of the state of the atmosphere -- a nowcast," says Budzien.
