Scientific paper

Solar reserach at APL aims to understand the fundamental physics that govern solar activity. The tools are telescopes, models, and interplanetary sampling of solar ejecta. The work is relevant to APL's mission because solar energetic protons disable satellites and endanger astronauts. Solar activity also causes geomagnetic storms, which can lead to communications disruptions, electric power network problems, satellite orbit shifts and, sometimes, satellite failure. Predicting storm conditions requires understanding solar magnetism and its fluctuations. APL scientists have made major contributions to solar activity research and have taken the lead in developing a variety of new solar research tools. They are now starting work on the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, a major space mission.
