Missions → DMSP-F18 (extended)

DMSP ionospheric plasma drift and scintillation instrument. Stored as component candidate because current D1 sensor spec lacks a matching particle/retroreflector/radiation-monitor branch.

Included in the Atlas for completeness. This is a supporting payload carried on an Earth-observation platform rather than a primary observing instrument, so it has a catalogue record but no full profile.
