Summary:
- This article discusses several NASA heliophysics missions that are transitioning from development to operational status. Heliophysics is the study of the Sun and its interactions with the Earth and the solar system.
- The Parker Solar Probe and the Solar Orbiter missions are moving from their initial phases into full operations, allowing them to collect valuable data about the Sun and its effects on the space environment around Earth.
- The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series of satellites, which monitor the Sun and space weather, are also transitioning to operational status, providing critical data for forecasting and understanding solar activity.
