Space Mission Created 'Hole' in Atmosphere, Could Have Impacted GPS: Study - People.com — Earth's atmosphere reacts to Artemis II mission

NASA's Artemis II mission resulted in disturbances in the Earth's upper atmosphere. The launch generated three surges in the ionosphere, likely influencing GPS systems. The event might have affected satellite navigation and communication services momentarily. The study indicates that the mission could have punched holes in the atmosphere, leading to temporary disruptions in GPS signals.
