1. Aeronomy is a branch of atmospheric physics.2. It flew from plasma and aeronomy experiments to an apogee of, and was successful. 3. Early flyby probes ( Mariner 4 ) and later orbiters used radio occultation to perform aeronomy . 4. Prior to that time, such phenomena were considered to be part of physics or aeronomy . 5. At that time, CRPL was renamed the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences and Aeronomy ( ITSA ). 6. On April 25, 2007, the AIM satellite ( Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere ) was launched. 7. The institute has as main competence, tasks of public service and research in the domain of Space Aeronomy . 8. Dieminger became the director of the institute in 1951, which was renamed the Max Planck Institute for Aeronomy in 1958. 9. For many years, Dr . Killeen led a group of research scientists and engineers working in the field of aeronomy . 10. The scientists are Tom Slanger and David Huestis, both chemists who specialize in aeronomy , the study of the upper atmosphere.
