NASA has selected SpaceX of Hawthorne, California, and its Falcon 9 rocket to provide the launch service for the agency’s TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) mission, a pair of small satellites that will study space weather and how the Sun’s energy...
NASA is considering two proposals that would studyspace weather from the sun, which poses a radiation threat to astronauts cruising across the solar system. These two proposals aim to use small satellites to better protect future crews by predicting how space weather affects people and their spacecr...
WEATHER-SATELLITES - NASA REBUKED FOR GOES-NEXTReveals that United States congressmen are concerned over the GOES-NEXT program, weather satellites designed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Th...
另一项任务是串联重联和尖点电动力学勘测卫星(Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites,TRACERS)。TRACERS调查被部分选为由NASA发射的搭乘任务(rideshare mission),这意味着它将作为PUNCH的二级有效载荷来发射。NASA的科学任务理事会正在强调二级有效载荷任务的重要意义,以便用较低的发射成本获取...
Why Space Weather Matters The solar wind, along with powerful solar events likesolar flaresand coronal mass ejections, can trigger space weather effects across the solar system. These disturbances can intensify auroras, disrupt satellites, and even cause power grid failures on Earth. ...

(Phys.org) —NASA has awarded the University of California, Berkeley, up to $200 million to build a satellite to determine how Earth's weather affects weather at the edge of space, in hopes of improving forecasts of extreme "space weather" that can disrupt global positioning satellites (GPS...
As Hurricane Irma crept toward the southwestern coast of Florida on Sunday (Sept. 10), NASA satellites provided views of the epic storm from space.
Six of these tiny satellites will work together, creating the largest radio telescope ever launched to detect and track hazardous explosive space weather events. Constructing a 6-mile-wide (10-kilometer-wide) telescope in space may sound like science fiction. However, through the combi...
carrying the next big U.S. weather satellite (NOAA's JPSS-1) into space. MiRaTA is designed to demonstrate that a small satellite can carry instrument technology that's capable of reducing the cost and size of futureweather satellitesand has the potential to routinely collect reliable weather ...
