NASA is a mission driven agency whose science mission is focused on discovering the secrets of the universe, looking for life elsewhere, and safeguarding and improving life on Earth. Heliophysics plays a key role in every aspect of the NASA science mission, including understanding the drivers of the prediction of space weather. Heliophysics at NASA is undergoing an expansion with missions, research, public engagement, support for human space exploration, and science applications. To catalyze progress in space weather, the Heliophysics Division established the NASA Space Weather (NSWx) Program as a separate program to work in conjunction with existing flight and research and analysis (R&A) programs to facilitate the timely transition of relevant heliophysics research to space weather applications. The NSWx program is succinctly described as the “applied expression of heliophysics.” Its creation furthers the Agency goals and responsibilities identified in the 2019 Promoting Research and Observations of Space Weather to Improve the Forecasting of Tomorrow (PROSWIFT) Act and codified in the 2020 NASA Science Plan. This talk provides an overview of the Heliophysics Division and of the NSWx, as well as other new initiatives relevant to space weather in the NASA Heliophysics Division.
