Only sounding rocket missions, such as SpEED Demon, provide the opportunity to fly through the layers and take direct measurements of this phenomenon on Earth. The electric currents associated with sporadic-E layers have been measured before but not with a comprehensive instrumented package that can give deeper insight into this activity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2022\/nasa-rocket-launch-wil-1.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/2022\/nasa-rocket-launch-wil-1.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"A visibility map of the the mid-Atlantic region shows how many seconds launch, weather permitting, the Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket may be visible in the sky.
