Known for its ability to investigate phenomena, and develop the tools necessary to improve our understanding of space and its effect on Earth, NASA has selected the Space Systems Research Corporation to lead a team of international scientists to study the solar EUV variability for the three- dimensional heliosphere. The SSRC Principal Investigator (PI) is joined by co-investigators from Interferometrics, Inc. and the Universitsité Paris-Sud.
Solar EUV and UV radiation has a potentially broad impact on [the studies of] planets, comets, and the heliosphere within the solar system. Knowledge of the solar ionizing radiation throughout the heliosphere will greatly aid the understanding of the physical processes that operate in the solar system.
