NASA’s Twin TRACERS Satellites Will Monitor Space Weather to Shield Earth from Solar Storms

NASA’s TRACERS satellites will fly in tandem through Earth’s polar cusps to study magnetic storms and solar wind effects. The mission aims to improve predictions of space weather events that threaten satellites, power grids, and astronauts, offering new insight into magnetic reconnection and helping protect vital systems from the hazards of intense solar activity.
