Space weather effects. Space weather is a branch of space physics and aeronomy, or heliophysics, concerned with the varying conditions within the Solar System and its heliosphere. This includes the effects of the solar wind, especially on the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. [1]
The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), named the Space Environment Center (SEC) until 2007, [1] is a laboratory and service center of the US National Weather Service (NWS), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), located in Boulder, Colorado. [2]

Active stars produce disturbances in space weather and, if strong enough, in their own space climate.Science studies such phenomena with the field of heliophysics, which is an interdisciplinary combination of solar physics and planetary science.
Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) is a future spacecraft mission planned to monitor signs of solar storms, which may pose harm to Earth's telecommunication network. The spacecraft will be operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with launch scheduled for no earlier than September 2025. [ 1 ]
Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR; formerly known as Triana, unofficially known as GoreSat [3]) is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) space weather, space climate, and Earth observation satellite. It was launched by SpaceX on a Falcon 9 v1.1 launch vehicle on 11 February 2015, from Cape Canaveral. [4]
A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites are mainly of two types: polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously) or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator ).
X-Ray image of aurora borealis taken during an ionospheric storm by the Global Geospace Science Polar satellite. Ionospheric storms are storms which contain varying densities [1] of energised electrons in the ionosphere as produced from the Sun. Ionospheric storms are caused by geomagnetic storms. [2]
