The goal
of the satellite mission conceived in 2013 during the annual
space science and technology summer school organised in Alpbach, Austria, is to develop
space weather forecasting.
The main objectives
of the mission include obtaining new data on solar activity to help to better
forecast space -
weather events like solar flares which can directly impact Earth and orbiting satellites, trace the flow
of energy from the Sun, better understand how the Sun's outer atmosphere is heated, and explore the physical mechanisms which accelerate the solar wind.
At Earth, they drive the most severe geomagnetic storms and thus are the primary focus
of space -
weather forecasting.

In environmental science, it will require strengthening our
weather forecasting, our Earth observation from
space, the management
of our nation's land, water and forests, and the stewardship
of our coastal zones and ocean fisheries.
Scientists can combine these observations with empirical models
of Earth's
space environment and thus
forecast space weather for the government, power companies, airlines, and satellite communication and navigation providers and users from around the world.
The breadth is inspiring: From novel bioactives for biotechnology and agri - tech, over autonomous and remote sensing for challenging environments, to modelling for
