Spacewatch: Nasa SunRise mission to study solar storms

Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment aims to pinpoint places where giant particle storms are launched into space

Nasa has selected a new mission that will study how space weather forms on the sun and launches radiation storms into space.

Called the Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE), the mission consists of six small CubeSats that will provide three dimensional maps of solar activity to pinpoint the places where giant particle storms are launched into space.
