NASA currently is working with several commercial companies as part of the agency’s VADR (Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare) launch

NASAs MAVEN orbiter has collected data of the unexpected dynamics on Mars, showing how extreme solar events influence the planets atmosphere, an insight valuable to understanding its evolution.

The spacecraft could help unravel how planets form across the universe

The first NASA-funded small satellite for exoplanet science is continuing to gather data well beyond its expected lifetime.

<p>The Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE) spacecraft, led by a team of scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder, is about the size of a cereal box. It has also recorded incredibly detailed measurements of the atmospheres of planets hundreds of light-years from Earth.</p>

Solar storms can trigger powerful magnetic disturbances on Earth, creating geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) which could potentially interfere with electricity transmission and distribution grids.
