CORONAS

CORONAS stands for "Complex Orbiting Radiation Near the Earth Advisory System." It refers to a series of Russian satellite missions designed to study solar activity and its effects on Earth’s environment. These satellites monitor the Sun's radiation, track solar flares, and gather data to help understand space weather phenomena. This information is crucial for predicting and mitigating impacts on satellites, power grids, and communication systems on Earth, ensuring better preparedness for potential disruptions caused by solar events. CORONAS contributes to our broader understanding of space and how it influences our planet.
