On January 26, 2011, the US launched STPSat-1, the first satellite dedicated to studying space weather. It was designed to measure space conditions and provide vital data for protecting satellites and astronauts.

Developed by the United States Department of Defense, STPSat-1 helps monitor solar flares and their impacts on Earth, aiming to enhance satellite reliability and safety.

STPSat-1 played a key role in providing information during fluctuations in solar activity, including solar storms and coronal mass ejections, helping mitigate risks to technology on Earth.
