The latest Dragon cargo vehicle was launched to the International Space Station on 2 April, taking with it ESA\u2019s Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mounted in Dragon\u2019s cargo bay, this suite of instruments will search for high-altitude electrical discharges associated with stormy weather. It is the first time that such a set of sensitive cameras, light sensors and X- and gamma-ray detectors are flying together to study the inner anatomy of luminous phenomena in Earth\u2019s upper atmosphere and the link with bursts of high-energy radiation.\u00a0Read more about the monitor\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dragon will dock with the Space Station on 4 April, with installation of the monitor expected on 13 April on the outside of Europe\u2019s Columbus laboratory. Once it has been switched on and thoroughly checked for about a month, then the fascinating observations can begin.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
