NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center

The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) is a government agency that monitors and forecasts space weather, such as solar flares, geomagnetic storms, and solar radiation. These events can affect satellite operations, communications, navigation systems, power grids, and even airline travel. SWPC analyzes data from space and solar observatories to provide alerts and warnings, helping industries and government agencies prepare for potential disruptions. By understanding space weather, they aim to minimize its impact on technology and maintain safety for astronauts, satellites, and everyday technology reliant on stable space conditions.
