Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics LaboratorySince its launch in 2001, NASA's TIMED spacecraft, built and operated by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), has been exploring one of Earth's last atmospheric frontiers. The TIMED community will now have the opportunity to further its studies of Earth's atmosphere when the mission begins an extended campaign in October 2006 with operations and data analysis continuing through 2010.
