A whole new way to study space and jet stream winds!

Sometime this month NASA will launch five sounding rockets in approximately five minutes to measure 200-300 mile-per-hour winds at the edge of space. This mission will trace these winds and study their intimate connection to the complicated electrical current patterns that surround Earth.
Video and more information can be found through this link!  I encourage you to check it out!
