NASA launched 5 missiles measuring wind speed in space

The missiles will be launched on March 14 at NASA's Wallops Flight Center in Virginia, USA. They are responsible for collecting information about the high flow of the atmosphere at an altitude of 97 to 105 km above the Earth's surface.

If successfully launched, the rockets will strip chemicals to mark milky white clouds, allowing scientists to monitor the wind in the atmospheric region moving at levels greater than 380mph (483kph).

The wind currents in the atmosphere will make rapid movement of latitude between the polar regions of the Earth. They are located in a place where there are some very strong currents that cause the ionosphere to have many electrical disturbances, which can interrupt satellite communications and radio.

In addition to the weather forecast function, 2 out of 5 missiles will also carry tools to measure atmospheric temperature and pressure in the airflow currents.
