This book provides a comprehensive overview of NASA’s ICON space
mission. Written before ICON’s launch, the papers contain the
most complete description of the ICON flight instruments and
preflight operation plans. In addition to the technology and
engineering, the volume describes ICON’s scientific mission to
investigate how lower atmospheric tropospheric dynamics affect the
high altitude ionosphere, and why special emphasis was placed on
understanding how neutral winds affect the ionospheric dynamics.
This book helps researchers better understand ICON’s workings and
why ionospheric behavior is so important to technically advanced
societies, as systems based on satellite communications and GPS
rely on the propagation of radio waves through the ionosphere.
Previously published in Space Science Reviews in the Topical
Collection “The Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) mission”
