Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics
TIMED

Die Mission TIMED (englisch Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics) ist ein Projekt, um die Dynamik in der Mesosphäre und der unteren Thermosphäre der Erdatmosphäre zu untersuchen.

Der 660 kg schwere Satellit wurde zusammen mit Jason 1 an Bord einer Delta-7920-Rakete von der Vandenberg Air Force Base in Kalifornien am 7. Dezember 2001 gestartet. Die Mission war eigentlich nur für eine Länge von zwei Jahren geplant, dauert jedoch bis heute an. Das Projekt wird von der NASA finanziert und geleitet, wohingegen der Satellit von dem Applied Physics Laboratory Forschungszentrum der Johns Hopkins University in Maryland entworfen und gebaut wurde.
