With an ever increasing interest in robotic and human exploration of Mars, the observation and understanding of space weather at Mars is becoming an important topic. The ultimate goal, as at Earth, will be to have a reliable capabilty of forecasting potential hazardous impacts of space weather events. The Martian plasma system, however, is very different from that at Earth, mainly as a...
As we prepare for human missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO), solar observations off the Sun-Earth line (SEL) at different vantage points become critical for accurate space weather predictions. These observations will help to improve our forecasting and understanding of the environment that these missions will encounter outside of the Earth’s protective magnetic field. The National Oceanic...

The COSPAR International Space Weather Action Teams (ISWAT) H4 Planetary Space Weather cluster is concerned with space weather at the planetary bodies other than Earth.With the current NASA’s emphasis on human exploration to Mars the H4 cluster’s focus will be more geared toward space weather at Mars for better scientific understanding of the environment at mars as well we for providing space...
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)...
JUICE was launched in April 2023, and it is now in its cruise phase to Jupiter, where it will arrive in July 2031. JUICE carries a RADiation hard Electron Monitor (RADEM) to measure protons, electrons, and ions, detecting particles coming from the anti-Sun direction. On 2024 May 13, a large solar energetic particle (SEP) event took place in association with an eruption close to the western...
