41.102 DR CATON/UNITED STATES AIR FORCE 5-8-2013
Metal Oxide Space Cloud experiment

41.102 DR Terrier-Orion was launched from Kwajalein, Marshall Islands on May 8, 2013. The primary objective of the Metal Oxide Space Cloud (MOSC) experiment is to demonstrate increases in ionospheric density for future application in technology to mitigate and/or control scintillation effects on COM/NAV operational systems. The secondary objective is to provide a technical basis for DSC use of on-demand space plasma generation (e.g., HF propagation). The Principal Investigator is Mr. Ronald Caton/United States Air Force. For more information on this mission see: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/wallops/news/kwaj2013.html
