TRACERS

TRACERS will help understand magnetic reconnection and its effects in Earth’s atmosphere. Magnetic reconnection occurs when activity from the Sun interacts with Earth’s magnetic field. By understanding this process, scientists will be able to better understand and prepare for impacts of solar activity on Earth.

TSIS-2

TSIS-2 will measure the Sun's energy input to Earth. Unlike its predecessor which operates from the International Space Station (ISS), TSIS-2 will ride on a free-flying spacecraft.
