NASA CubeSat Finds New Radiation Belts After May 2024 Solar Storm
The May 2024 solar storm created two new temporary belts of high-energy particles surrounding Earth. The findings are particularly important for spacecraft launching into geostationary orbits, which can be damaged as they traverse the dangerous belts…Mara Johnson-Groh (NASA Science)
