Coordinated Ionospheric Reconstruction CubeSat Experiment (CIRCE)

Caption

CIRCE dual CubeSats will fly in tandem in low Earth orbit to characterize ionospheric 2-dimensional structure (vertical and horizontal) using advanced UV and radio remote sensors and tomographic methods. Miniaturized in-situ sensors provide key insights to the radiation environment and density and composition in the spacecraft environment.
