The ICON mission is to be led by the Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley and will provide NASA’s Heliophysics division with a powerful new capability to determine the conditions in space modified by weather on the planet. It will explain the way space weather events grow to envelop regions of our planet with dense ionospheric plasma
