Galen Doser Kimberly Doyle SohamGhosh Matthew Marsh Space Weather Observatory to Monitor Ionosphere
Project Description • Implement Space Weather Observatory at RIT • Set up antennas on campus to get a 3-dimensional view of the particles in the ionosphere • Collect data, interpret what is happening • Collaborate with other space weather monitoring systems and figure out how to anticipate a space weather storm
Deliverables Status • By the end of MSD I the antennas will be placed throughout the RIT campus and the Command Center will be functional and analysis of system will have begun • MSD II will focus on the Command Center. It will become fully operational and will be capable of interacting with other systems monitoring space weather
Key Challenges • Weather resistant cover for antennas • Antenna obstructions • Setting up a command center • Interpreting data, finding correlations • Linking into other systems monitoring space weather
