Space Weather Next L1 Series Suprathermal Ion Sensor (STIS)

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announce the award of the Space Weather Next L1 Series Suprathermal Ion Sensor (STIS).

The L1 Series Suprathermal Ion Sensor is an ion spectrometer device that measures ions across a broad range of energies to characterize solar ejecta including Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), co-rotating interaction regions (CIRs) and interplanetary shocks. In particular, the Suprathermal Ion Sensor is a low energy charged particle detector that is capable of measuring the ion flux population as a function of energy. This ion population with ....
