LIVE: Join us for the launch of three missions to investigate how the Sun impacts Earth, astronauts, and the solar system. Share your questions with #AskNASA and we'll answer a few on air!

We're still taking your questions about today's launch on our live broadcast! Share them with the #AskNASA hashtag and we'll keep an eye out.

The million-mile journey to study the Sun's influence starts now! A @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying three new space weather missions launched at 7:30am ET (1130 UTC) on Wednesday, Sept. 24, from @NASAKennedy.

All three spacecraft have been deployed and are on their way to their destination! Keep following for the latest updates on our solar science missions.

If “space weather” can fry satellites, scramble comms, and even black out power grids on Earth, here’s the real question: what happens the first time a Mars mission is caught in a solar superstorm mid-transit .. outside the protection of Earth’s magnetosphere? Is NASA’s plan to shield astronauts from lethal radiation measured in sieverts, or are we gambling human survival on probability curves that break the moment the Sun unleashes a Carrington-class event?

WE WILL BE SUING FOR USING OUR LEGALLY OWNED NAME. WE ARE NASA..NASA-NAUTICAL ASTRONOMY SUPER ADVENTURES. MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER STARTED IT IN A WOODEN BOAT.

Space weather forecasts: the ultimate shield for interplanetary pioneers. 🚀🌌

Sun radiation is really a big problem in the the space for the Astronauts.

Very neccessary stuff

Spend, spend, spend, without being able to change anything about the suns effects on earth!

Understanding space weather is crucial for astronaut safety on missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Solar storms, cosmic rays, and radiation can damage spacecraft electronics and pose serious health risks. By studying these phenomena, scientists like NASA heliophysicist Kelly Korreck help design protective measures, predict hazardous events, and ensure safe, successful missions.

If humans or any intelligent life existed on another planet but only in a very small, hidden area (like a remote desert or cave on Earth), how can scientists be certain that no one is there? Since we have not explored every inch of other planet.

understanding space weather shields astronauts from radiation and mission risks 🌌🛰️

Yes

Moon that

These science programs are so boring, take far too long to get to the point, and have far too many commercial breaks.

Protect astronauts on missions to the moon and mars?, when was the last time an astronaut has been to the moon, and when was the first time an astronaut has been to mars.
