SwRI staff prepare the Solar Wind Plasma Sensor (SWiPS) for integration into a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite dedicated to tracking space weather. SWiPS will measure ...

A number of concepts exist for exploiting the solar wind as a means of propulsion: the MagSail, the e-sail, and the plasma magnet. All of these concepts work predominately as drag devices and thus are ...

Artificial intelligence is quietly rewriting the rules of space weather forecasting, turning what used to be a hazy two-day warning into a detailed four-day outlook. By learning directly from high ...

How do we extract energy from space around a spacecraft? If there are differences in the speed of the solar wind or differences in flows of particles around a spacecraft or where a spacecraft is ...

"CODEX's observations will contribute to our understanding of the region that space weather travels through, helping improve predictions." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Scientists have come a step closer to identifying the mysterious origins of the 'slow' solar wind, using data collected during the Solar Orbiter spacecraft's first close journey to the Sun. Scientists ...

Without photosynthesis we wouldn’t have food because it converts energy from the sun into chemical energy for the food chains. Image by Tim Sandle Without photosynthesis we wouldn’t have food because ...
