This mission is a partnership between Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT) and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC). The original LAICE was funded by the NSF and the instruments are being repurposed and flown on the new LAICE-F mission. The UIUC payload, a 7-channel photometer, provides remote sensing of the airglow brightness variations in the lower atmosphere. The VT suite has three payloads all taking in-situ measurements. The retarding potential analyzer (RPA) measures ion density and temperature measurements. The LAICE Ionization gauge Neutral Sensor (LINAS) and Space Neutral Pressure Instrument (SNeuPI) both measure neutral density. The design of LINAS is flight proven and it will be used to verify SNeuPI, a technology demonstration that provides neutral density measurements at a lower mass and power. The mission objectives of LAICE-F are to measure airglow brightness in the lower F-region heights of the atmosphere, to take in-situ measurements of ion and neutral density, and to correlate these measurements and create maps of active gravity wave regions.
