The CubeSat produced the first solar X-ray spectrum just over a week after the launch of the Vega rocket. CubeSat is operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), which stated that “we are very happy to have our first telemetry instrument, which shows that it is in good condition.” The satellite will detect what was observed when a huge flash of light occurred on the surface of the sun The explosive release of magnetic energy. When we see the emergence of new avalanche countries in the modern space race, studying solar flares becomes extremely important. Huge flares on the surface of the sun can cause space weather, threatening satellites, terrestrial energy and communication networks, and even polar flying planes.
What is a solar storm?
Sunstorm is a small satellite developed by ISAWARE, Aboa Space Research Oy, Oxford Instruments Technologies, and Talvioja Consulting, and is equipped with a cube satellite manufactured by the Reaktor Space Laboratory in Finland. The CubeSat is a miniaturized satellite based on a standardized 10 cm box. ESA said in a statement before the launch of the satellite that once it is demonstrated in space, the tracking version of the instrument will be flown in the ESA Lagrangian space weather monitoring mission.
ISAWARE President Juhani Huovelin said in a statement: “It is important to note that this is only a preliminary observation, but its stability and data quality are very promising.” In the first communication with CubeSat through S-band, the execution platform For health check of avionics, four solar panels are deployed and the sun’s pointing height is obtained for payload operation. They provide increasingly powerful payload performance, and their natural limitations in size, quality, and power usually exclude The propulsion of conventional spacecraft,” ESA said in a statement.
From the surface of the sun, the Space Weather Forecast Center said that this may damage the earth’s electronic and communication equipment and threaten the operation of various space technologies. Recently, The solar flare that erupted was the largest since 2017, and it erupted on July 3, causing radio interruption. Solar flares are sudden, rapid, and intense explosions on the surface of the sun that occur when large amounts of energy are generated. What is stored in the magnetic field will be released suddenly. The explosion emits radiation throughout the universe, launching them onto the planets of the solar system. These radiations include radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
