AB: The NASA Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) mission has had an extremely productive four years since its launch in December 2001. During this time, TIMED observations have provided an unprecendented view of the basic structure of the Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Mesosphere (ITM) system and also documented the impacts of the tropospheric and stratospheric weather, varying solar EUV radiation and x-ray flares, geomagnetic storms powered by solar corona mass ejections, and the powerful high speed streams of energetic particles. This paper gives a summary of TIMED's scientific accomplishments over the past four years, its significant findings and current evolving research topics.
