In the THOR experiment of the IRISS Mission Andreas Mogensen captures lightning, blue jets and sprites from the International Space Station.
Andreas Mogensen has filmed a thunderstorm over India from the Cupola, a glass compartment underneath the Space Station. The film shows lightning illuminating the clouds, a blue jet (up to 50 km altitude) and Red Sprites (60-80 km altitude).
THOR is a collaboration between the Technical University of Denmark, National Space Institute (DTU Space), Danish Meteorological Institute, Commisariate a l’Energie Atomique and Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, Israel. It is conducted with ESA and NASA from the International Space Station.
