Europe & China launch SMILE to study Earth's magnetic field
A groundbreaking space https://www.dw.com/en/space/t-64606735 mission is set to reveal much more about how Earth’s magnetic shield protects life from powerful solar storms. The joint European-Chinese SMILE mission will track how charged particles from the Sun collide with the magnetosphere — a barrier that shields our planet from dangerous radiation.
Scientists want to better understand “space weather,” which can disrupt power grids and communications. With four instruments observing from orbit, SMILE will offer a rare global view of this interaction. Beyond its scientific goals, the project also highlights a decade-long collaboration between Europe https://www.dw.com/en/european-union-eu/t-17440066 and China https://www.dw.com/en/china/t-18480887 at a time of geopolitical tension.
