Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is a world leader in atmospheric electricity research, with a multi-decade history of developing and deploying a variety of ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne atmospheric electricity instruments, such as the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS). MSFC also has performed groundbreaking research on many topics, including but not limited to thunderstorm electrification and lightning within severe weather, lightning‘s impact on atmospheric composition, variability of the global electric circuit, the production of transient luminous events (TLEs) in the upper atmosphere, physical relationships between optical and radio-frequency (RF) emissions by lightning, and calibration/validation of the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM).
Available NPP opportunities within the MSFC lightning group include:
