(Elsayed Talaat) It is our first hosted science payload that NASA is flying on a commercial spacecraft.
and so that is a new innovated way for us to do science that maximizes our private sector partnership as well.
(Sarah Jones) GOLD is measuring the upper atmosphere which is the region that our
communications signals pass through as they go from our satellites down to our technology here Earth.
And so it's very important for us to understand whats going on in this region so we can understand
how it's affecting those technologies that we need for our day to day lives.
I am excited about this mission because GOLD will be getting information about the upper atmosphere
much faster than ever before. And we will be able to look at affects that are more like the weather that we
experience down here on Earth.
