TRACERS mission launches from California Space Force Base
Iowa researchers lead a 170 million TRACERS mission launching on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg AFB to study solar wind interactions with Earth. T1 and T2 will orbit the poles for about a year, uncovering how magnetized plasma from the Sun couples with Earth's magnetic field and drives space weather impacts.
