flag NASA launched two sounding rockets from Alaska in February 2026 to study black auroras and auroral electrical currents. flag The BADASS mission, on February 9, reached 224 miles to examine electron flow in dark auroral regions. flag The GNEISS mission, on February 10, used two rockets to map 3D electric currents by combining in-flight data with ground-based tracking. flag Both missions collected high-quality data, helping scientists understand how space energy drives geomagnetic storms that can disrupt satellites, power grids, and communications. flag Results aim to improve space weather forecasting.
