NASA Studies Solar Storms to Prepare for Mars Missions

NASA is preparing to study the effects of solar storms on Mars missions as the sun enters a period of heightened activity. Solar events like flares and mass ejections pose a threat to Mars due to its lack of a magnetic field. MAVEN and Curiosity rover are key in monitoring radiation levels and analyzing the impact on potential ancient life indicators. Understanding these phenomena is crucial for ensuring the safety of future astronauts exploring the Red Planet.
