But if it is not possible, NASA could use the third launch window on July 14-20. The confirmed flight was on July 6 during the launch window, while the second one is likely between July 7-13 from 10 am to 2 pm EDT. The reported that the Dynamo-2 mission will take off from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia, which could happen between July 6- 20 as they will be launched on two separate dates.
This time, however, the Dynamo-2 mission will be using two rockets that will be launched at two separate dates unlike the first one to capture the current when it is flowing in different directions. The mission involved two rockets that lifted off 15 seconds apart carrying scientific instruments to measure the electric fields in the winds. In 2013, NASA scientists launched their first dynamo mission in collaboration with the Japanese Space Agency and several US universities. Scientists first discovered the magnetic field and motion to be responsible for this natural electric generation, according to India Today.ĪLSO READ: VIPER Rocket Launched to Look at How Satellites Affected by Lightning Storms on Earth NASA Set to Launch Dynamo-2 Mission These three things are found in abundance in the atmosphere at a much larger scale as it covers the whole world. In general, like the dynamo invented by Michael Faraday, the atmospheric dynamo works with the magnetic field, a conductor, and motion. That could mean that the night side of the Earth does not experience electric flow as there is little ionospheric conductivity. The form of the resulting electric field distribution is directly related to the distribution of ionospheric conductivity and magnetic field. When the Sun heats the ionosphere at high temperatures, it flows away from noon to midnight in a radial pattern which moves the neutral atoms and charged particles across the magnetic field lines. The ionosphere is primarily formed by the action of the sunlight to the atmospheric particles, wherein it produces partially ionized gas or plasma. Due to the intense radiation coming from the Sun, it separates the electrons from the atoms and allows the electricity to flow. The atmospheric dynamo is the Earth-sized electric generator that is located next to the magnetic field and flows in the planet's ionosphere, according to Britannica.
