2025年9月24日,SpaceX Falcon 9号火箭从肯尼迪航天中心发射了三颗空间气象卫星,包括美国航天局的IMAP和Carruthers Geocorona天文台以及诺阿的SWFO-L1号天文台,以监测太阳活动并改进空间天气事件的预报。
On September 24, 2025, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched three space weather satellites from Kennedy Space Center, including NASA’s IMAP and Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, and NOAA’s SWFO-L1, to monitor solar activity and improve forecasts of space weather events.
这些卫星从离地球约100万英里处飞往太阳地球L1点附近的稳定轨道,将研究太阳风暴、高能粒子和地球高层大气。
The satellites, bound for a stable orbit about 1 million miles from Earth near the Sun-Earth L1 point, will study solar storms, energetic particles, and Earth’s upper atmosphere.
该任务耗资约16亿美元,目的是加强对空间气象中断的警告,这种干扰可能影响卫星、通信、电网和宇航员安全。
The mission, costing approximately $1.6 billion, aims to enhance warnings of space weather disruptions that can affect satellites, communications, power grids, and astronaut safety.
美国航天局和诺阿的共同努力是一种具有成本效益的办法,利用一次发射来推进空间气象监测和保护关键基础设施。
The combined effort by NASA and NOAA represents a cost-effective approach using a single launch to advance space weather monitoring and protect critical infrastructure.
