Summary
[edit]DescriptionAntares and Sunspots at Sunrise (11980665885).jpg |
An Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket is seen on the launch pad at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Va., on Jan. 8, 2014. Dark blemishes can be clearly seen on the face of the sun. These are an intense, magnetically complex sunspot group that erupted with solar flares and coronal mass ejections while present on the sun. The eruptions resulted in enough radiation funneling into near-Earth space that the Jan. 8 Antares launch was postponed, as the radiation could have interfered with its computer systems. The rocket launched successfully on Jan. 9. More info on how space radiation can affect rocket launches: www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/space-radiation-can-affect-r...
