It is scheduled to be launched aboard a Pegasus XL rocket as part of NASA&#8217;s Explorers program and operated by UC Berkeley&#8217;s Space Sciences Laboratory. ICON will study the interaction between Earth&#8217;s weather systems and space weather driven by the Sun, and how this interaction drives turbulence in the upper atmosphere. It is hoped that a better understanding of this dynamic will mitigate its effects on communications, GPS signals, and technology in general.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Video Credit: NASA <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 5px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) is a satellite designed to investigate changes in the Earth&#8217;s ionosphere.
