One scientist recently estimated that a 'solar tsunami' could cause outages costing the US economy $7.2 billion per day.
"We know lots about how to prepare for storms that form on Earth, but we need to improve our forecasts of the dangerous weather we get from space," lead researcher Harriet Turner, from the University of Reading’s Department of Meteorology explained in the statement.
"Our research has shown that using rapid satellite measurements to forecast space weather is effective," Turner said. "By sending spacecraft far from Earth, we can use this new technique to get better solar storm predictions and ensure we are prepared for what's to come."observations of solar wind
