Clima espacial

DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) is an American space weather station developed in partnership with NASA, NOAA, and the U.S. Air Force, that monitors changes in the solar wind, providing space weather alerts and forecasts for geomagnetic storms that could disrupt power grids, satellites, telecommunications, aviation, and GPS. DSCOVR orbits approximately 1.5 million km from Earth in a unique location called Lagrange point 1 (L1), the neutral gravity point between the Earth and Sun.

Instruments:

• Plasma-Magnetometer (PlasMag): Magnetometer and plasma sensor to measure solar wind properties for forecasting geomagnetic storms. The PlasMag instrument comprises a Faraday Cup (measures solar wind) and a Fluxgate Magnetometer, as well as two space weather instruments: the Electron Spectrometer  and the Pulse Height Analyzer.

• Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC): Provides images ofthe sunlit side...

Since decades ago, astronomers and astrophysicists have been carrying out research to understand the dynamics of the Sun. The results of this research are allowing those experts in national meteorological offices and other solar/terrestrial observatories to implement the first elements of space weather early warning. On Thursday 8 May 2024, the Space Weather Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States issued a Watch related to a category 4 severe geomagnetic storm that is impacting the planet as of 10 May 2024, and will continue for several days. According to this Center, it last issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch of this category (G4) in January 2005. The scale is structured in 5 levels (G1 to G5) and the Space Weather Prediction Center indicated that it has monitored G5 conditions these days as well. More information on this scale is available here...

Le Bureau Régional d'Appui (BRA) de ONU-SPIDER en Roumanie est hébergé par l'Agence Spatiale Roumaine (ROSA). L'accord de coopération entre ROSA et UNOOSA a été signé lors de la 52ème session du Comité des Utilisations Pacifiques de l'Espace Extérieur (COPUOS) le 4 juin 2009.

Créée en 1991, par la décision gouvernementale n° 923/ 20 novembre 1995, ROSA est une institution publique indépendante.

La mission de l'agence est la suivante

• coordonner les programmes nationaux de recherche et d'applications spatiales
• promouvoir le développement de l'espace
• représenter le gouvernement dans la coopération spatiale internationale
• développer des projets de recherche spécifiques.

ROSA est autorisée à établir des centres de recherche et de développement axés sur des objectifs spécifiques du programme spatial roumain.

The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) of Pakistan and the United Nations Office of Outer space Affairs (UNOOSA) signed the cooperation agreement on the establishment of a UN-SPIDER Regional Support Office (RSO) on the occasion of the 47th Scientific and Technical Subcommittee sessions on 12 February 2010.

SUPARCO, the national space agency, was established in 1961 as a Committee and was granted the status of a Commission in 1981. SUPARCO is mandated to conduct R&D in space science, space technology, and their peaceful applications in the country. It works towards developing indigenous capabilities in space technology and promoting space applications for socio-economic uplift of the country.
