Across our planet, billions of people depend on the invisible networks that connect us to space.

Every day, those networks are at the mercy of our temperamental Sun and the space weather that it unleashes across our solar system.

That’s why NASA’s Space Weather Program tracks solar storms from the moment they erupt, modeling their paths, anticipating their impacts, and leading the research that the world’s industries rely on.

NASA’s space weather research and modeling is driven by the needs of society and enables critical decision-making that equips pilots to reroute around high radiation areas, farmers to adjust GPS-based precision planting and harvesting plans, and power grid operators to mitigate the impacts of potential surges.

For those exploring other worlds, NASA provides 24/7 space weather monitoring for Artemis crews at the Moon and future Mars astronauts who may be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation during solar storms.

Whether you are a pilot or a passenger…

a farmer or a consumer…

a power grid operator or energy customer…

a satellite controller or GPS user…

space weather impacts us all.

As our invisible networks expand, NASA’s Space Weather Program will keep us one step ahead of solar storms to safeguard our modern society.
