STORIE provides 90-minute ring current views

STORIE is set to figure out where these particles come from (the sun or Earth's own atmosphere) and how solar storms change the ring current's shape and strength.
This matters because those changes can mess with satellites and even power grids back on Earth.
STORIE will give scientists a full view of these changes every 90 minutes — helping us predict space weather better and keep our tech safer.
