GOLD Program
NASA's Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk is an active heliophysics investigation that images Earth's thermosphere and ionosphere from geostationary orbit. The hosted instrument measures upper-atmosphere densities and temperatures at global scale to improve understanding of how the Sun, magnetosphere, and lower atmosphere drive change near the boundary of space.
