DAPHNE will join NASA’s science fleet to provide data that help mission planners predict and mitigate the effects of space weather.

DAPHNE will rely on twin spacecraft to measure neutral winds, temperature, and atmospheric composition in the thermosphere and ionosphere.

DAPHNE uses identical instruments on both satellites to capture multi-point data in the upper atmosphere.

DAPHNE will undergo a confirmation review in 2027 to assess technical progress and budget.
