Understanding Space Weather for Human and Robotic Exploration to the Moon, Mars, and Beyond
Understanding Space Weather for Human and Robotic Exploration to the Moon, Mars, and Beyond
Session ID#: 280984
Session Description:
As we continue to explore the heliosphere, our understanding of space weather and its effects are becoming increasingly important. Characterizing potential hazards posed by solar activity is critical for future human and robotic missions. These future missions to the Moon and Mars rely on understanding the impacts of space weather on the environment, humans, and technology. To ensure safe operations, mission planning must also consider how environmental responses change with solar cycle. Current planetary and heliophysics missions, data, and models offer the opportunity to assess space weather activity and impacts that humans and robotic assets may encounter. This session welcomes abstracts that assess space weather activity relevant for exploration to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, including contributions on the recent Artemis II mission and future missions. We also welcome abstracts describing technology development and advancements in relevant observations that are key for improving space weather forecasts throughout the heliosphere.
