Ever heard of a cosmic "parking spot"?
☀️That’s what Lagrange Point 1 (L1) is – a place where Earth’s and the sun’s gravity balance out. 🌎
@NOAA’s #SWFOL1 will head there to keep constant watch for solar storms.

.@NOAA’s #SWFOL1 🛰️ is scheduled to launch on Tuesday, Sept. 23! 🚀
Its crown jewel is its compact coronagraph—its eye on the sun—which will allow SWFO-L1 to detect even the fastest coronal mass ejections right as they happen.

Technicians @AstrotechSpace Operations have completed integrating @NOAA's #SWFOL1 and @NASA's Carruthers Geocorona Observatory satellites to the “ring” that will carry them (along with NASA’s upcoming #IMAP mission) to space.
All three spacecraft will launch together on a single @SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket @NASAKennedy no earlier than 7:32 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, Sept. 23.

We're at T-minus 4 days and counting! 🚀
@NOAA's #SWFOL1 🛰️ is ready to improve #SpaceWeather forecasting!
Its magnetometer will track solar plasma heading toward Earth, helping forecast geomagnetic storms. Its location, at the end of a long boom, reduces interference from the spacecraft itself.

On this first day of the #AutumnEquinox, the Compact Coronagraph-1 (#CCOR1) onboard @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ captured both the moon and Earth while watching the sun.
@NOAA’s upcoming #SWFOL1 observatory will also carry a compact coronagraph called #CCOR2.

As the sun rises over the U.S., @NOAA’s #GOESEast 🛰️ is focusing on the Southern Plains and Ozarks into the Mid-Mississippi Valley, where there is a #SlightRisk of #severe #thunderstorms as well as #Flooding from heavy rainfall.
Meanwhile, we're also closely watching @NASAKennedy in Florida, where #SWFOL1 is set to launch tomorrow morning 🚀 #LetsGoSWFO #GOES19
