Canadian Geospace Monitoring (CGSM) is a Canadian space science program that was initiated in 2005. CGSM is funded primarily by the Canadian Space Agency , and consists of networks of imagers, meridian scanning photometers , riometers, magnetometers , digital ionosondes , and High Frequency SuperDARN radars.
Tip and cue systems utilize a network of satellites equipped with complementary sensor technologies to track moving objects in real-time. The method involves detecting a target with a primary sensor, such as an infrared or photographic sensor, which then cues secondary sensors on the same or other satellites for more detailed monitoring.
Magnetic pulsations are extremely low frequency disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere driven by its interactions with the solar wind. [1] These variations in the planet's magnetic field can oscillate for multiple hours when a solar wind driving force strikes a resonance. [2] This is a form of Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. [1]
SOHO is a main source of near-real time solar data for both research and space weather prediction and inspired the STEREO mission. The Yohkoh spacecraft at LEO observed the Sun from 1991 to 2001 in the X-ray portion of the solar spectrum and was useful for both research and space weather prediction.
Animation of Advanced Composition Explorer's orbit viewed from the Sun Earth · Advanced Composition Explorer ACE in orbit around the Sun–Earth L 1 point. Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE or Explorer 71) is a NASA Explorer program satellite and space exploration mission to study matter comprising energetic particles from the solar wind, the interplanetary medium, and other sources.
This orbit enables observations of the magnetosphere’s response to varying solar wind conditions from the full range of vantage points over time scales encompassing all space weather phenomena. Furthermore, this orbit allows scientific return 100% of the time from at least a single instrument and up to 83% of the time from all instruments ...
Time: 8 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: SMU -2.5 | Total: 55.5 The ACC title game could have the most at stake. An SMU win likely gives the conference just one team in the College Football Playoff.
The magnetosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary magnetosphere in the Solar System, extending up to 7,000,000 kilometers (4,300,000 mi) on the dayside and almost to the orbit of Saturn on the nightside. [17] Jupiter's magnetosphere is stronger than Earth's by an order of magnitude, and its magnetic moment is approximately 18,000 times ...
