To study conditions in the ionosphere, Cornell University research engineer Steven Powell, and others in the College of Engineering, have developed the FOTON (Fast Orbital TEC for Orbit and Navigation) GPS receiver. This year, the FOTON hitched a ride aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to begin a long-term project at the International Space Station.
