Artemis 2 Rocket Creates GPS Errors
3 min read
NASA's Artemis 2 mission generated three sets of ionospheric disturbances that confused ground-based GPS receivers. Researchers found the rocket's second stage burn created a 3,107-mile streak of disturbed electrons over the continental United States. This event produced positioning errors several meters off target, potentially affecting autonomous cars and drone positioning.
