NASA Launches IMAP Spacecraft on a Mission-Critical Journey
NASA is set to launch a new spacecraft mission that is sure to revolutionize our understanding of the sun’s influence on Earth and the space environment. The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission will study the heliosphere, the vast bubble of charged particles and magnetic fields created by the sun and extending far beyond the orbit of Pluto. IMAP will provide critical information on how the sun affects our planet, enabling scientists to better understand and predict space weather conditions and their potential impact on Earth.
