Spacecraft equipped with a solar sail could deliver earlier warnings of space weather threats to Earth’s technologies
Spacecraft equipped with a solar sail could deliver earlier warnings of space weather threats to Earth’s technologies Space weather events, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can disrupt satellite operations, shut down electric grids, and expose astronauts to lethal doses of radiation. The SWIFT constellation, a next-generation satellite constellation, aims to predict potentially […]
