00:00This rocket launch could change how we protect Earth from the sun's fury.
00:03And it's happening soon.
00:05On September 23, at 7.32 a.m. EDT,
00:09a SpaceX Falcon 9 will blast off from Kennedy Space Center
00:12carrying NASA's IMAP mission.
00:14And it's not going alone.
00:16Two more missions are hitching a ride—
00:18the Caruthers GeoCorona Observatory and NOAA's SWFO-L1 satellite.
00:24Together, they're setting out to explore
00:26one of the most mysterious forces in our solar system—
00:29space weather.
00:30IMAP will map how solar energy and particles interact with the edge of our solar system,
00:35helping us understand cosmic radiation and how it affects life and tech on Earth.
00:40Caruthers will image Earth's outermost atmospheric layer,
00:44revealing how space weather impacts our planet.
00:47And SWFO-L1 will sit a million miles from Earth,
00:50acting as an early warning system for solar storms.
00:53These missions won't just explore—they'll protect.
00:56Watch it live on NASA X, Amazon Prime, or YouTube.
00:59This isn't just science.
01:01It's Earth's defense system in the making.
01:03You can also launch a million miles from Earth.
