Scientists Discover a Hidden Problem in Decades of Spacecraft Data

Summary by Sci Tech Daily
Different processes can produce similar spacecraft observations, making it difficult to determine how particles move through Earth’s radiation belt. A spacecraft passing through Earth’s radiation belts can record particle behavior that looks random even when the underlying motion is highly organized. New research suggests that the limited resolution of spacecraft measurements can hide fine structures [...]

A recent study points to significant limitations in measurements made by spacecraft regarding Earth's radiation belts. Researchers from the University of Birmingham and the Czech Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the International Space Science Institute (ISSI), revealed that the limited resolution of the data can obscure fine structures in populations of high-energy particles. Limitations in spacecraft measurements: Spacecraft traversi…
