Description
The Moon to Mars Space Weather Analysis Office (M2M SWAO) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center conducts real-time human-in-the-loop space weather analysis to support NASA missions throughout the solar system. With a strong emphasis on space weather impacts spanning 360 degrees, utilizing multi-viewpoint spacecraft is imperative to ensure complete and accurate analysis. Solar Orbiter’s (SolO) diverse fleet of in-situ and remote sensing instruments, coupled with its dynamic orbit, provide critical data that fill observational gaps for real-time analysis off the Sun-Earth line. The near-real time low latency SolO synoptic observations have aided in providing source detection and descriptions, which is integral to timely analysis of impactful transient events. Furthermore, later in the heliospheric environment, the comprehensive suite of in situ quick-look data plots serves as advanced warning for impacts to spacecraft at greater orbits (including missions near Earth), while also providing valuable feedback on our modeling and validation capabilities. Currently, the CCMC-ISWA platform is ingesting this data for the Space Weather Community. As space exploration begins to turn its focus towards Mars, access to near real-time SolO data is providing insight on how to overcome space weather related challenges that come with this new planetary frontier.
