The Multi-Needle Langmuir Probe (m-NLP) is seen at European Test Services (ETS) before thermal vacuum testing. The Langmuir Probe measures contents of the ionosphere from station's unique vantage point. Measurements of small-scale changes could allow for discovery that prevents degradation in global navigation systems. Image courtesy of ESA/Estec, Kensa Benamar.
