-
C.
Deep Space Climate Observatory
The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) is a NOAA and NASA satellite positioned at the Sun–Earth L1 Lagrange point that continuously monitors solar wind conditions and provides real-time space weather and Earth observation data.
-
D.
Great Observatories program
The Great Observatories program is a NASA initiative comprising a suite of space-based telescopes operating across different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum to provide complementary views of the universe.
-
E.
BepiColombo mission
The BepiColombo mission is a joint ESA–JAXA spacecraft mission designed to study the planet Mercury’s composition, magnetic field, and environment through dual orbiters.
