"ESA Discovers Solar System Traces Embedded in ESA Flotilla's Memories"

Memories of solar impact from seven ESA spacecraft have been analyzed in a first-of-its-kind study, revealing the impact of extreme space weather events on spacecraft throughout the Solar System. The study provides insights into the radiation environment in space, implications for future spacecraft design, space weather science, and understanding the risks to human and robotic life outside of Earth's protective shield. The data collected from engineering sensors on board these missions shows simultaneous detections of solar energetic particle events in different locations across the Solar System, providing valuable information for solar wind modeling and understanding particle propagation.
