NASAs IMAP Begins Primary Science Mission
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Feb 03, 2026 NASAs IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) began its two-year primary science mission on Feb. 1 to explore and map the boundaries of our heliosphere - the protective bubble created by the solar wind that encapsulates our solar system. The mission, which launched on Sept. 24, 2025, relies on 10 scientific instruments to chart a comprehensive picture of what is roiling in space, from high-energy particles originating at the Sun, to magnetic fields in interplanetary space, to dust left ... read more |

Solar Orbiter spots magnetic avalanches driving major solar flareParis, France (SPX) Jan 26, 2026 Just as avalanches on snowy mountains begin with the motion of a small amount of snow, Solar Orbiter has revealed that a powerful solar flare can start from initially weak magnetic disturbances that ... more 
Century-old solar records refine future cycle forecastsLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 An international team of astronomers has developed a new way to extract solar polar magnetic information from more than a century of historical observations, improving prospects for predicting futur ... more 
Geomagnetic storm to bring northern lights to central USWashington, United States (AFP) Jan 19, 2026 Meteorologists say a major disturbance in Earth's magnetic field Monday could mean the northern lights will be seen further south than typical in the US, possibly even in Alabama or northern California. ... more 
Multiple spacecraft track evolving solar storm to improve space weather forecastsTokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 14, 2026 At times the sun ejects massive clouds of energetic material into space, and these events can disturb satellites, threaten astronauts and even affect power grids on the ground. Researchers are worki ... more |

Mission Space to fly second space weather payload with Rogue Space
Orlando, FL (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 Mission Space will launch its second payload in orbit in partnership with Rogue Space, extending its commercial space weather measurement network. The companies announced the mission during the Spacepower Conference in Orlando. The first Mission Space payload, ZOHAR-I, launched in March 2025 and recently received the 2025 Global Tech Award for advances in high-cadence radiation monitoring from orbit. The second mission builds on that work by adding a new data point and introducing neutral-density ... read more 
New MAGE model links solar storms to geospace responseLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 NASA's Center for Geospace Storms, or CGS, has released the Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment model, or MAGE, a supercomputer-based system that uses NASA mission data to show how different ... more |
