Abstract

The Systematic Study of lower Thermosphere Energetics by a Rocket (SYSTER) is a multi-payload sounding rocket designed to study Joule heating at auroral latitudes. SYSTER provides pathfinder measurements for a future thermospheric 'dipper' spacecraft, currently being evaluated by the ESA-NASA Lower Thermosphere-Ionosphere Science (ENLOTIS) working group.
