StriKe Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Using a new instrument on the International Space Station (ISS), scientists are trying to observe and dissect lightning bolts every day. Installed on the ISS in August 2013, the Firestation instrument includes photometers to measure lightning flashes, radio antennas to measure the static (a proxy for the strength of the electrical discharge), and a gamma-ray electron detector. Firestation is observing about 50 lightning strokes per day and looking for brief bursts of gamma rays that are emitted by some of them. Gamma radiation is usually associated with exploding stars or nuclear fusion, but scientists have found evidence that terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) may occur in the atmosphere as often as 500 times a day. Atmospheric scientists are interested in the processes that trigger lightning within thunderstorms and what kinds of lightning produce gamma rays. TGFs may also be related to the atmospheric phenomena known as red sprites, electrical discharges that extend upward from thunderstorms. 'The fact that TGFs exist at all is amazing,” said Doug Rowland, the principal investigator for Firestation and a space physicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. 'The electron and gamma-ray energies in TGFs are usually the domain of nuclear explosions, solar flares, and supernovas. What a surprise to find them shooting out of the cold upper atmosphere of our own planet.' An astronaut orbiting over Bolivia on the International Space Station captured a close-up of a lightning flash beneath a thunderhead on January 9, 2011 An astronaut orbiting over Bolivia on the International Space Station captured a close-up of a lightning flash beneath a thunderhead on January 9, 2011 In a few years, NASA scientists plan to add another lightning sensor to the ISS. The Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) was originally designed for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission, which was launched in 1997 and is still flying. At the time, the research team from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center built a backup LIS in case of trouble with the main instrument. That spare is still functional and is scheduled to be sent up to the space station in 2016. LIS detects cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning, and it can detect discharges both in daylight and at night. It measures the rate and amount of radiant energy in global lightning strikes. Because the space station flies farther north and south than TRMM, this second LIS instrument will extend lightning measurements beyond the tropics.
