Good Morning #Canada
On January 30, 1969, the ISIS 1 satellite was launched into space to study the ionosphere and the aurora borealis. The satellite, unfortunately named in hindsight, was a joint project between the United States and Canada. ISIS 2 was launched in 1971, and both were designed and built in Canada. They led to the discovery of the ionosphere's physical processes and helped scientists understand the aurora borealis.
