SWFO-L1 is expected to launch alongside the NASA [[GLIDE]] mission in 2025 SWFO-L1 is a [heliophysics](https://science.nasa.gov/heliophysics/) mission that will collect solar wind data and coronal imagery to meet [[NOAA]]’s operational requirements to monitor and forecast solar storm activity. SWFO-L1 will orbit the Sun at approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth on the Earth-Sun line, a point known as L1. As a next-generation space weather observing satellite, SWFO-L1 will monitor signs of solar storms and assess their potential impact on our planet's space infrastructure. NOAA plans to launch the SWFO-L1 satellite to Earth-Sun Lagrange Point 1 in 2025 on the NASA Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe. https://www.rocketlabusa.com/missions/upcoming-missions/noaa-swfo-l1/ ![[Pasted image 20250112142552.jpg]] ## News %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: start ``` table published as "Published" from "News" where contains(mission, [[NOAA SWFO-L1]]) sort published desc ``` %% | File | Published | | ---- | --------- | %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: end %%
