Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC)

The Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC) is a NASA facility that coordinates and manages scientific research related to solar and space phenomena, particularly those affecting Earth's space environment. It serves as a hub for collecting, analyzing, and distributing data from solar observatories and space missions. JSOC provides scientists and space weather researchers with timely, reliable information about solar activity, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can impact satellite operations, communications, and power grids. Essentially, it ensures efficient sharing of data to better understand and predict space weather events.
