Description

Science That Shapes Missions Series: Space Weather – Virtual Outreach Event

Space weather isn’t just a scientific curiosity — it’s a mission‑critical factor that influences how NASA designs, builds, and protects spacecraft, technologies, and crews. This virtual session explores how solar activity, geomagnetic storms, and energetic particles shape the way missions across NASA are planned and executed.

Participants will gain insight into the operational challenges posed by space weather, the innovations needed to mitigate its effects, and the opportunities for small businesses to support NASA’s evolving mission landscape. Whether your work touches engineering, research, technology development, or mission services, understanding space weather is essential to advancing NASA’s future exploration goals.

The event will feature:

• An overview of small business engagement • A introduction to Goddard Space Flight Center capabilities • A technical overview of space weather, its relevance to exploration initiatives, and key challenges and opportunities • A combined technical and procurement Q&A session, offering guidance on requirements, proposal readiness, best practices for responding to Sources Sought notices, and how to develop effective RFI submissions • Information on upcoming small business opportunities, ways to engage with NASA’s Office of Small Business Programs, and additional resources to support industry participation

Reserve your spot and learn how this powerful science drives mission requirements, informs risk, and opens the door for new industry partnerships. Additional Links:Event Registration Link
