About this informational video

COMET produces artistic renderings of future processes and events. In 2018, the joint U.S./Taiwan radio occultation mission FORMOSAT/COSMIC-2 will launch six satellites into low-inclination orbits, which will greatly increase the number of atmospheric and ionospheric observations being made. This video provides an introduction to the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC), including information about the COSMIC-2 mission.
