Earth is constantly bombarded by gentle streams – and occasionally stormy bursts – of charged particles from the Sun. Luckily, a massive magnetic shield called the magnetosphere stops most of these particles from reaching us. If it weren’t for the magnetosphere, life could not survive on planet Earth.

Smile will give humankind its first complete look at how the magnetosphere reacts to the material that the Sun sends in our direction. By improving our understanding of the solar wind, solar storms and space weather, Smile will fill a stark gap in our understanding of the Solar System and help keep our technology and astronauts safe in the future.
