GOLD is a two-channel far-ultraviolet (FUV) imaging spectrograph built by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder and flown as a hosted payload on the commercial communications satellite SES-14.[7] Additional organizations participating in the GOLD mission include the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Virginia Tech, the University of California Berkeley, the University of Central Florida, Computational Physics Inc., the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Boston University, and Clemson University. In June 2017, SES announced the successful integration of GOLD with the SES-14 satellite under construction at Airbus Defence and Space in Toulouse, France.[8] GOLD was launched on 25 January 2018 at 22:20 UTC aboard Ariane 5 flight VA241 from the Guiana Space Centre.[9] Scientific ObjectivesThe scientific objectives of the GOLD mission are to determine how geomagnetic storms alter the temperature and composition of Earth’s atmosphere, to analyze the global-scale response of the thermosphere to solar extreme-ultraviolet variability, to investigate the significance of atmospheric waves and tides propagating from below the temperature structure of the thermosphere and to resolve how the structure of the equatorial ionosphere influences the formation and evolution of equatorial plasma density irregularities. The viewpoint provided by GOLD’s geostationary orbit – from which the same hemisphere is always observable – is a new perspective on the Earth’s upper atmosphere. This viewpoint allows local time, universal time and longitudinal variations of the thermosphere and ionosphere's response to the various forcing mechanisms to be uniquely determined.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://appel.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/02/Managing-Partners-and-Resources.pdf |title=Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD): Mission of Opportunity |conference=Managing Partners and Resources, PI Team Masters Forum #6 |publisher=NASA |first=Richard |last=Eastes |date=24 March 2016 |accessdate=1 February 2018}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.satellitetoday.com/technology/2017/05/25/nasa-integrates-ultraviolet-space-spectrograph-ses-14/ |title=NASA Integrates Ultraviolet Space Spectrograph with SES 14 |work=Via Satellite |first=Kendall |last=Russell |date=25 May 2017 |accessdate=1 February 2018}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/arianespace/ariane-5-rocket-places-2-satellites-into-orbit-despite-telemetry-anomaly/ |title=Ariane 5 rocket places 2 satellites into orbit despite telemetry anomaly |work=Spaceflight Insider |first=Tomasz |last=Nowakowski |date=25 January 2018 |accessdate=1 February 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite press release |url=http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2013/apr/HQ_C13-100_Helio_Explorers.html |title=NASA Selects Explorer Projects to Probe Earth's Upper Atmosphere |publisher=NASA |first=Dwayne |last=Brown |date=12 April 2013 |accessdate=24 May 2013}} 5. ^1 {{cite journal |title=NASA Mission to Explore Forcing of Earth's Space Environment |journal=Eos |first=Richard |last=Eastes |volume=90 |issue=18 |page=155 |date=May 2009 |doi=10.1029/2009EO180002 |bibcode=2009EOSTr..90..155E}} 6. ^{{cite press release |url=http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2011/sep/HQ_11-328_Science_Proposals.html |title=NASA Selects Science Investigations For Concept Studies |publisher=NASA |first=Dwayne |last=Brown |date=29 September 2011 |accessdate=24 May 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://today.ucf.edu/55-million-grant-makes-ucf-florida-history/ |title=$55 Million Grant Makes UCF, Florida History |publisher=University of Central Florida |first=Chad |last=Binette |date=15 April 2013 |accessdate=24 May 2013}} 8. ^{{cite press release |url=https://www.ses.com/press-release/ses-14-integrates-nasa-ultraviolet-space-spectrograph |title=SES-14 Integrates NASA Ultraviolet Space Spectrograph |publisher=SES |first1=Markus |last1=Payer |first2=Natalia |last2=Kossobokova |date=23 May 2017 |accessdate=7 June 2017}} 9. ^1 {{cite news |url=https://spaceflightnow.com/2018/01/26/ariane-5-va241-status-1/ |title=Ariane 5 deploys two telecom satellites in orbit despite telemetry loss |work=Spaceflight Now |first=Stephen |last=Clark |date=26 January 2018 |accessdate=26 January 2018}} External links
