Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have built a suite of instruments called EXIS that act as a first line of defense against solar flares.
NASA will launch the satellite into orbit from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a Space X Falcon Heavy rocket on Tuesday.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have built a suite of instruments called Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensors that act as a first line of defense against solar flares. Interestingly, these instruments can spot solar flares before any other instrument in space and send detection data to Earth in seconds.
On the other hand, the EUVS sensor monitors fluctuations in the sun’s activity that may influence the Earth’s atmosphere. According to NASA, the resultant storm was the biggest in two decades and “possibly one of the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years.” This caused a widespread display of solar storms in the United States, and some other parts of the planet.
