[PEM09-01] NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Space Weather Priorities and Activities
Keywords:space weather, human spaceflight, diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Heliophysics Science Division (HSD) vision is “To discover and innovate in heliophysics for the benefit of those on Earth and those exploring the solar system." HSD conducts research on the Sun, its extended solar-system environment (the heliosphere), and interactions of Earth, other planets, small bodies, and interstellar gas with the heliosphere. Division research also encompasses geospace -- Earth's uppermost atmosphere, the ionosphere, and the magnetosphere -- and the changing environmental conditions throughout the coupled heliosphere. Scientists in the HSD develop models, spacecraft missions and instruments, and systems to manage and disseminate heliophysical data. They interpret and evaluate data gathered from instruments, draw comparisons with computer simulations and theoretical models, and publish the results. The Division also conducts education and public outreach programs to communicate the excitement and social value of NASA heliophysics.
Space weather is a major part of HSD activities and the Division is the home for entities such as Community Coordinated Modeling Center and Moon to Mars Space Weather Analysis Office. HSD is also developing HERMES instruments that will be flown on Lunar Gateway. HSD scientists work in close collaboration with federal partner organizations such as NOAA, USGS and Air Force to help transition the latest scientific information into space weather operations. HSD scientists are also supporting many of the National Space Weather Action Plan goals and play significant role in a variety of international space weather efforts. In this talk, we will discuss our scientific and space weather priorities as we well as give an update about our many activities that pertain to space weather, including those associated with NASA’s Artemis effort.
