NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
NASA has delayed its TRACERS mission to no earlier than 2025 to provide additional preparation time for the crew. The mission will send twin satellites to explore how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere, particularly through a process called magnetic reconnection. These high-speed solar particles can trigger auroras and impact satellite...

NASA's New Satellite Duo Begins Tracking Mysterious Auroral Electrojets
The EZIE mission is shaping up to be a breakthrough in space weather research. Launched in March 2025, its three satellites are now orbiting Earth and collecting data on auroral electrojets, massive energy currents near the poles. Scientists believe the results could lead to better forecasting tools and stronger, safer satellite systems.
