As many UMSF members have likely noticed the current Solar Cycle (25) is off with a bang! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle_2...progression.png. SOHO observations https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/spaceweather/ coupled with daily comments in Space Weather https://spaceweather.com/ provide an excellent way to follow this activity.

The MAVEN presentation at the MEPAG addressed how it is measuring atmospheric escape at Mars as the solar cycle ramps up. It says it may be constraining this better for Mars than for Earth.
https://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/meeting/2022-01/...ven_2022_01.pdf In other news, SpaceX/Starlink lost 40 satellites between Feb 3 and Feb 8 before they could move out of their deployment orbit... because a solar event puffed up the atmosphere. Crazy. |
