From its orbit one million miles away from Earth,NOAA Satellite and Information Service's DSCOVR spacecraft will provide critical data necessary for NOAA space weather forecasters to issue timely and accurate warnings of solar storms that have the potential to disrupt major public infrastructure systems such as power grids, telecommunications, aviation and GPS.
DSCOVR is set to launch on Sunday, Feb. 8, at 6:10 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral, Fla. Learn more about the mission and NASA's two Earth-observing instruments: http://go.nasa.gov/1BUE09z#EarthRightNow
