AIM has been selected for extended mission funding following the 2-year Explorer baseline mission. The extension from June 2009 through September 2012 will allow tracking the evolution of mesospheric clouds for an additional seven seasons and provide data to address key outstanding questions including:
- Are there variations in PMCs that can be explained by changes in solar irradiance and particle input?
- What changes in mesospheric properties are responsible for north/south differences in PMC features?
- What controls interannual variability in PMC season duration and latitudinal extent?
- What is the mechanism of teleconnection between winter temperatures and summer hemisphere PMC’s?
- What is the global occurrence rate of gravity waves outside the PMC domain?

The AIM team has been selected to receive a NASA’s Group Achievement Award “For outstanding achievement in developing and launching the Small Explorer mission to study the phenomena of polar mesospheric clouds.” Dr. Russell, the principal investigator, will accept the award on behalf of the team May 8th during the 2008 Agency Honor Awards Ceremony at NASA Headquarters.

Statement
of Alan Stern Before the House Science and Technology
Committee Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics
13 March 2008
"The Aeronomy of Ice
in the Mesosphere (AIM) spacecraft, launched in
2007 is providing revolutionary data on changes
in noctilucent clouds that appear to be related
to global change." |

Glow-In-The-Dark
Clouds?
They were first seen more than a century ago,
clouds that seem to glow in the dark. Now they're
showing up more and more often, and some are trying
to find out why. Byron Pitts reports.
