NASA and NOAA Set to Launch Solar Probes for Space Weather Forecasting
In Sept. 2025, NASA and NOAA will launch three spacecraft aboard a Falcon 9 to the Sun–Earth L1 point. IMAP will map the heliosphere’s edge, the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory will study Earth’s exosphere, and SWFO-L1 will deliver real-time solar storm warnings. Together, they aim to improve space-weather science and safeguard technology on...
