In early November, NASA carried out an innovative experiment creating artificial clouds over Norway, as part of its research into the upper atmosphere.
Contrary to conspiracy theories about chemtrails, the space agency assures that its experiments have no negative impact on the environment. Actus.fr relayed this initiative in an article in the section Sciences et Technologies.
the article, to carry out this experiment, NASA launched probes at very high altitude, equipped with tanks containing chemical compounds such as Tri-methyl aluminum (TMA). These substances, also used in the manufacture of fireworks, generate visible light when they interact with vapor in the upper atmosphere. Researchers say these substances have no harmful effects on the planet. These are therefore artificial clouds.
NASA created the artificial clouds between 80 and 400 kilometers in altitude, well above the altitude of commercial planes, which typically fly between 9 and 13 kilometers. The purpose of these clouds is to study movements in the upper atmosphere and analyze energy and mass flows in this specific region.
Study the impact of artificial clouds on solar activity
Researchers are seeking to better understand how artificial clouds, visible thanks to their luminescence, react to changes in solar activity. They consider this research crucial for studying the interaction between the upper atmosphere and solar phenomena.
Experience spread throughout the world
Scientists conduct such experiments frequently in various parts of the world to better understand atmospheric phenomena. NASA specifies that no launch of artificial clouds is planned in France for the moment, but this question raises a legitimate question: why did you choose Norway for this specific experiment?
