We're getting ready to launch a first-of-its-kind spacecraft, but we need your help to #NameTheMisson! This #spaceweather mission will help protect life in space and infrastructure on Earth from the Sun's violent outbursts🌞 Submit your idea👉esa.int/namethemission
The Sun makes life on Earth possible, but also threatens our modern way of life. Unpredictable, it erupts, spewing vast quantities of high-speed matter & radiation into space. Our new mission will help warn us, but we need your help to #NameTheMission!➡️ esa.int/namethemission
