Diagram of the five Lagrange points associated with the sun-Earth system, showing DSCOVR orbiting the L-1 point. Solar A moderately strong G2-class geomagnetic storm is underway now, and the storm could … Once known as Triana, the mission was conceived in 1998 to provide continuous views of Earth, to monitor the solar wind, and to measure Earth’s albedo. Triana, renamed DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) in 2003, is the first Earth observing mission to travel to Lagrange-1, or L1 (the neutral gravity point between the Sun and the Earth).From L1, Triana will have a continuous view of the Sun-lit side of the Earth at a distance of 1.5 million kilometers. NASA received funding from NOAA to refurbish the DSCOVR spacecraft and its solar wind instruments, develop the command and control portion of the ground segment, and manage launch and activation of the satellite. DSCOVR This is NOAA's first operational deep space … The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) is the replacement satellite for NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft to continue monitoring solar wind near the L1 point . The data will be archived at NOAA’s National Geophysical Data Center also in Boulder. ACE Real Time SW data for WINDMI Run on Request | CCMC The DSCOVR Solar Wind Harp project builds upon previous versions of the software using data collected from the existing NOAA/NASA ACE (Advanced Composition Explorer) satellite – developed by us in 2008 and exhibited and performed in venues such as the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Anderson Ranch Art Center, and The Phillip J. Steele Gallery among others. DSCOVR LEVEL 2 DATA FOR RUNS ON REQUEST - NASA Below is a look at the DSCOVR solar wind data for the past 3-days, courtesy of NOAA.
