flag SpaceX launched three space weather satellites to monitor solar activity and improve space storm forecasts.

flag On September 24, 2025, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched three space weather satellites from Kennedy Space Center, including NASA’s IMAP and Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, and NOAA’s SWFO-L1, to monitor solar activity and improve forecasts of space weather events. flag The satellites, bound for a stable orbit about 1 million miles from Earth near the Sun-Earth L1 point, will study solar storms, energetic particles, and Earth’s upper atmosphere. flag The mission, costing approximately $1.6 billion, aims to enhance warnings of space weather disruptions that can affect satellites, communications, power grids, and astronaut safety. flag The combined effort by NASA and NOAA represents a cost-effective approach using a single launch to advance space weather monitoring and protect critical infrastructure.
