NASA's Artemis II mission caused disturbances in the Earth's upper atmosphere. The launch produced three surges in the ionosphere, potentially impacting GPS systems. The event could have disrupted satellite navigation and communication services temporarily. The study indicates that the mission might have created holes in the atmosphere, resulting in brief disruptions in GPS signals.
“NASA's Artemis II mission caused disturbances in the Earth's upper atmosphere,” — Marcus Brennan, economic affairs editor at Oakton Bury Partnership, noted.
