Comments: C/NOFS is an experimental Air Force satellite designed to monitor the Earth's ionosphere and foresee impending communication disruptions. From its orbit hugging the equator, the C/NOFS satellite and its onboard instruments will measure the space environment to increase warning times for conditions that cause outages of ultra-high frequency (UHF) communications and degrade Global Positioning System navigation signals.
