The Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron only pins the odds of "go for launch" weather at 50-50 for this upcoming second attempt, citing liftoff winds and cumulus clouds.
A CME is a large outburst of plasma sent from the Sun towards interplanetary space. Together with space weather observation capabilities on the Earth-orbiting GOES-U satellite, SWFO-L1 constitutes the space segment of NOAA's Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) program. The aim of the SWFO program is to ensure the robust continuity of space-based ...
ESA plans to conduct an orbital test flight of the Space Rider uncrewed spaceplane in the third quarter of the year. [ 9 ] SpaceX expects to perform an in-space propellant transfer demonstration using two docked Starships in 2025—a critical milestone that will allow SpaceX to refuel their Starship HLS vehicle for an uncrewed lunar landing ...
Space weather Part of the Solar Terrestrial Probes program. Under NASA's SMD Rideshare Initiative, two secondary spacecraft will be launched along with IMAP to the Sun–Earth L 1 point. Falcon 9 First Stage Booster will be expended in this mission. September (TBD) [27] [28] Falcon 9 Block 5: Cape Canaveral or Kennedy: SpaceX: SpainSat NG II ...
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is about to make its closest approach to the sun. The spacecraft will fly within 3.8 million miles of the solar surface. The spacecraft is collecting essential data that ...
The space transportation firm Firefly, which was founded in 2017 and is now valued at $2 billion, has been awarded four task orders to complete three lunar deliveries as part of NASA’s CLPS ...
The 45 WS provides comprehensive weather data and specialized services for Space Force and NASA personnel, such as for flight safety, resource protection (i.e. ground building and equipment), pre-launch ground processing, day-of-launch for Shuttle and other rockets, post-launch, aviation, and special operations.
The Space Weather Prediction Center is one of the nine National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and provides real-time monitoring and forecasting of solar and geophysical events, conducts research in solar-terrestrial physics (i.e. heliophysics), and develops techniques for forecasting solar and geophysical disturbances.
