#ESAVigil will sit at the L5 Lagrange point and give us a ‘side-on’ perspective of any coronal mass ejections that may be heading towards Earth – really vital data that’s needed for timely, accurate space weather forecasts.

Tired of hearing about solar storms just hours before they hit Earth? Us too. #ESAVigil will increase advanced warning of extreme solar events from 12-18 hours, to 4-5 days. But it will also provide valuable data to scientists. The Vigil team is working to ensure the mission is capable of delivering the best of both worlds.

Die #Sonne veranstaltet ein Spektakel passend zur Europäischen #SpaceWeatherWeek, die dieses Jahr in Toulouse stattfindet. Wenn nur jemand an einer Satellitenmission arbeiten würde, um diese großen Regionen voll Aktivität zu entdecken, bevor sie von der Erde aus zu sehen sind.🤔 #ESAVigil

In extreme cases, it could even damage power lines on Earth and pose a health risk to astronauts in space. ESA is preparing the Vigil mission to provide advanced warning of this kind of potentially hazardous #SpaceWeather event: esa.int/Space_Safety/Vigil #ESAVigil

An early warning is key. Our upcoming #ESAVigil mission will keep an eye on the ‘side’ of the Sun to spot any potentially hazardous solar activity before it rotates into view from Earth: esa.int/Space_Safety/Vigil

I agree with all the comments above, but we need to take it one step at a time. Getting a permanent off Sun-Earth line mission is an important start #ESAVigil We need to help more governments recognise the importance of space weather to get the necessary investment
