dc.description.abstractObserving Cusp High-altitude Reconnection and Electrodynamics (OCHRE) is a student/early career researcher (ECR) focused sounding rocket that will fly as a compliment to the TRACERS satellites. OCHRE will utilize the deep institutional knowledge of the TRACERS science team to educate and mentor a team of graduate students and ECRs to serve as instrument leads, project manager, and primary investigator. Aiming for a near conjunction with, and at an apogee above, TRACERS in the northern polar cusp, OCHRE will answer some remaining questions from the TRICE-II sounding rockets using TRACERS to contextualize observations in the larger-scale polar cusp dynamics.
dc.description.sponsorshipThe team at The University of Iowa is funded by NASA through grant number 80NSSC24M0097, and work at Southwest Research Institute and the University of California, Berkeley is funded through the TRACERS grant 80GSFC18C0008.
