NASA launches TRACERS twin satellites to discover the mysterious link between solar storms and tech failures

NASA's TRACERS mission, with its twin satellites launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9, aims to unravel the mysteries of magnetic reconnection. By studying the interaction between solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere in the polar cusp region, the mission seeks to improve space weather forecasting. This will protect satellites, astronauts, and GPS systems from disruptive high-energy events.
