NASA to Launch Sounding Rockets into Moon’s Shadow During Solar Eclipse
NASA ^ | 3/25/2024 | Desiree Apodaca

NASA will launch three sounding rockets during the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, to study how Earth’s upper atmosphere is affected when sunlight momentarily dims over a portion of the planet.

The Atmospheric Perturbations around Eclipse Path (APEP) sounding rockets will launch from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia to study the disturbances in the ionosphere created when the Moon eclipses the Sun. The sounding rockets had been previously launched and successfully recovered from White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico, during the October 2023 annular solar eclipse. They have been refurbished with new instrumentation and will be relaunched in April 2024. The mission is led by Aroh Barjatya, a professor of engineering physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, where he directs the Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab.

The sounding rockets will launch at three different times: 45 minutes before, during, and 45 minutes after the peak local eclipse. These intervals are important to collect data on how the Sun’s sudden disappearance affects the ionosphere, creating disturbances that have the potential to interfere with our communications.

With all the hype, talk of stocking water and food, supplies, national guard activities, traffic flows on the highways and in the airways, now this.

What's going on?

Yes sending it into the Moon’s shadow hides it from the beings who live in the Sun,. They’ll never know what we are up to.

All these thousands of people coming to Texas to watch the eclipse. What they don’t know is Texas weather hates people, so I’m expecting a cloudy day April 8th.

We’re in a war with the cave dwellers below:

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (Rev. 12)

I remember back in the 70’s when they launched rockets
and released some kind of barium compound into the
upper atmosphere that were visible as something like
a purple aurora hanging in the sky...
Studying solar wind or something like that.

Gosh…why not send astronauts up there to observe? Did we forget how to do that? Or is it easier in a studio?

They are serious about this. It’s the only reason for their little experiment.

It’s laughable science, but no laughing matter.

You might find this article interesting. It demonstrates the severity of their psychosis:
