Q. Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission was launched by which space organization?
Answer: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Notes: The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission was launched by NASA. Specifically, the mission was a NASA Heliophysics mission designed to study Earth's auroral electrojets. Auroral electrojets are strong electric currents that flow 60 to 90 miles above the Earth's polar regions. These currents are caused by the solar wind, a stream of charged particles from the Sun, and they can carry up to 1 million amps of charge per second. EZIE uses three CubeSats, which are small satellites, to investigate how these currents connect Earth's auroras to its magnetosphere. The mission helps scientists understand how solar activity affects Earth, which is important for predicting space weather events.
