Consider it a mobile weather station in space.
stations. For this pathfinding mission, CuSP will carry three instruments to study solar radiation: the Suprathermal Ion Spectrograph , built by SWRI; the Miniaturized Electron and Proton Telescope , built by Goddard; and the Vector Helium Magnetometer , built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. They will study low-energy particles, high-energy particles, and the strength and direction of magnetic fields, respectively.
"CuSP will be able to observe events in space hours before they reach Earth," said Mihir Desai, the principal investigator for CuSP at SWRI."Such interplanetary observations would give us significant insight into what drives space weather, helping scientists to improve their simulations."
