NASA will take part in two heliophysics projects that will allow scientists to study solar winds, explosions
To do this, they, together with the Japanese AgencyAerospace Exploration (JAXA), will develop EUVST, a solar telescope project that will study how the solar atmosphere emits solar wind and erupts material that affects the level of cosmic radiation. NASA will allocate about $ 55 million for the project, which is scheduled to launch in 2026. NASA will also provide ultraviolet detectors, auxiliary electronics, spectrograph components and a guiding telescope.
Russian scientists have figured out how to easily remove space debris from Earth's orbit
The second mission will use three smallsatellite, scheduled to launch in 2024. The devices will monitor the sources of radiation and changes in the auroral electrojet, an electric current that circulates in the Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 100-150 km above the surface. The mission's total budget is $ 53.3 million.
Researchers noted that they are launching missionsfor a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that underlie various phenomena on the Sun. Their ultimate goal is to predict phenomena such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections in order to be able to protect astronauts, spacecraft and other devices in the future.
