Unlocking the Secrets of the Sun

Example Resources

• Unlocking the Secrets of the Sun Challenge Video
• Parker Solar Probe Science Gateway

  Website of the Parker Solar Probe mission science team; includes access to actual instrument data and images, as well as orbit and instrument plans, schedules, and visualizations.

• Science @ NASA: The Sun

  Main science page for the NASA Science Mission Directorate Heliophysics Division, which studies the nature of the Sun, and how it influences the very nature of space — and, in turn, the atmospheres of planets.

• NASA Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS)

  Parker Solar Probe animation and graphics created by the SVS, based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in coordination with the Parker Solar Probe science team.

• Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC)

  The CCMC is a multi-agency partnership to enable, support, and perform the research and development for next-generation space science and space weather models. The CCMC provides the international research community with access to modern space science simulations.

• iNTEGRATED SPACE WEATHER ANALYSIS SYSTEM

  While exploring the CCMC resources, you will find the iNTEGRATED SPACE WEATHER ANALYSIS SYSTEM (iSWA). ISWA is a flexible, turn-key, Web-based dissemination system for NASA-relevant space weather information that combines forecasts based on the most advanced space weather models with concurrent space environment information. iSWA is customer-configurable and adaptable for use as a powerful decision-making tool. The system offers an unprecedented ability to analyze the present and expected future space weather impacts on NASA's human and robotic missions.
