NASA probes will study how solar wind triggers potentially dangerous "space weather"
SpaceX launched twin satellites for NASA Wednesday that will study how the electrically-charged solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field, creating constantly changing and occasionally dangerous "space weather" affecting satellites, electrical grids and other critical systems. The identical TRACERS satellites will operate in the magnetosphere, "the region around our Earth that is dominated by the planet's magnetic field, and it protects us from the stellar radiation and really from everything else that's going on in space," said Joseph Westlake, director of NASA's solar physics division. "What we will learn from TRACERS is critical for the understanding and eventually the predicting of how energy from our sun impacts the Earth and our space and ground-based assets, whether it be GPS or communication signals, power grids, space assets and our astronauts working up in space. "It's going to help us keep our way of life safe here on Earth." Hitching a ride to space along with TRACERS atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket were five other small satellites, including one that will use a new "polylingual" terminal to communicate with multiple other satellites and space probes using different protocols. Another will collect data about how much solar energy Earth absorbs and reemits into space, known as the "radiation budget," and another that will focus on how high-energy "killer electrons" are knocked out of the Van Allen radiation belts to rain down into the atmosphere. Two other small satellites were aboard, including an experimental "cubesat" that will test high-speed 5G communications technology in space and another built by an Australian company carrying five small satellites to test space-based air-traffic management technology that could provide aircraft tracking and communications anywhere in the world. The mission got underway at 2:13 p.m. EDT when a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket roared to life at launch complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on the California coast. The launching one day late because of a regional power outage Tuesday that interrupted air traffic communications over the Pacific Ocean near Vandenberg. The second time around, the countdown ticked smoothly to zero and after boosting the upper stage and payloads out of the lower atmosphere, the first stage peeled away, reversed course and flew back to a landing near the launch pad. A few seconds later, the upper stage engine shut down to put the vehicle in its planned preliminary orbit. The two satellites making up the primary TRACERS payload were deployed about an hour-and-a-half after launch. Two of the other smallsats were to be released earlier in a slightly different orbit, with the remainder following TRACERS a few minutes later. TRACERS is an acronym for Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites. The twin spacecraft, built by Boeing, will fly in tandem in the same orbit, 10 seconds to two minutes apart, helping researchers precisely measure rapid changes indicating how the solar wind "couples" with Earth's magnetic field. "So the Sun is a burning, fiery ball of plasma and as it burns, it blows off an exhaust that we call the solar wind, it's a plasma, and that's always streaming from the sun towards the Earth," said David Miles, principal investigator at the University of Iowa. "And sometimes, the magnetic field of the Earth basically stands it off in the same way that if you have a rock in a stream, the water kind of flows around it. But other times, those two systems couple (and) you dump mass, energy and momentum into the Earth system." That coupling drives spectacular auroral displays, "but it also drives some of the negative things that we want to... understand and mitigate, like unplanned electrical currents in our electrical grids that can potentially cause accelerated aging in electrical pipelines, disruption of GPS, things like that." "So what we're looking at trying to understand is how the coupling between those systems changes in space and in time," Miles said. The goals of the other satellites launched Wednesday range from basic science to technology development. The Polylingual Experimental Terminal, or PExT, will test equipment capable of sending and receiving data from multiple government and commercial satellites across multiple communications protocols. The goal is to streamline communications to and from a wide variety of satellites and space probes to improve efficiency and lower costs. Another satellite, known as Athena-EPIC, will continue ongoing measurements of Earth's radiation budget, the balance between solar energy coming into Earth's environment compared to the energy radiated back out into space. Using spare parts from earlier missions, Athena-EPIC will test innovative LEGO-like satellite components intended to lower costs while reducing the size of satellites. The Relativistic Atmospheric Loss, or REAL, satellite, another small cubesat, will study how electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts get knocked out of place to pose threats to satellites and other systems. Robyn Millan of Dartmouth University is the principal investigator. "The radiation belts are a region surrounding the Earth that are filled with high-energy charged particles that are traveling at near the speed of light," she said. "These are sometimes called killer electrons because these particles are a hazard for our satellites in space. They also rain down on our atmosphere where they can contribute to ozone destruction." The REAL cubesat weighs less than 10 pounds and measures just a foot long. Despite its small size, "it carries a powerful particle sensor that will for the first time make very rapid measurements of these electrons as they enter our atmosphere, and this is really critical for understanding what's scattering them." What makes REAL unique, she said, was the sensor's small size, allowing it to be carried by a cubesat, which "could enable future missions, especially those requiring constellations of satellites."

Parkour vaults into Napanee Council's concerns
There is a delicate balance when it comes to parkour, the Council of the Town of Greater Napanee learned this week. Cora Wright, Founder and Head Coach of Pegasus Movement Academy (PMA) , addressed Council at its regular meeting on Tuesday, Jul. 22, 2025, in response to concerns about her youth parkour program, which operates in Conservation Park and Rotary Park. Her deputation came just before Council received the Parks, Recreation & Culture – Park Rental Permits report , which proposes a new facility rental category, 'Passive Park – Commercial/Sport Use,' aimed at businesses using public park space. The report, which refers specifically to PMA's use of municipal infrastructure, states, 'Staff are proposing that council approve the addition of a new facility rental category for Passive Park Commercial/Sport use with a rate of $25/hour. The booking confirmation will be accompanied by a facility rental agreement and proof of insurance naming the Town of Greater Napanee as additional insured.' Wright began her presentation by saying, 'My love of coaching actually began here in Napanee… 30 years ago. I probably coached some of your kids and even some of your grandkids.' In the last three years, she's taught movement classes across Ontario and New Brunswick without incident: 'I haven't had so much as a severely sprained ankle teaching very difficult skills.' Wright described PMA as a program focused on safety, inclusivity, and physical literacy. 'Our classes aren't about stunts or reckless behaviour,' she explained. 'They're about learning how to move safely and confidently through our environment.' Even her youngest participants, as young as three, are trained in falling techniques, body awareness, and assessing their surroundings for safety, Wright explained. She acknowledged that parkour often suffers from misconceptions due to viral videos, but said, 'We don't even resemble them remotely.' Wright said her instructors are certified in gymnastics, parkour, trampoline, and adaptive coaching for youth with disabilities, and then highlighted the program's positive community impact. 'Several spectators, including seniors and youth who live near the area, are enjoying the park,' she said. 'The kids get supported and cheered on by the community. It's great to see.' Wright said her team always leaves parks cleaner than they find them. 'We've picked up trash, raked goose droppings, repaired wilful damage done by others, and even replaced stolen xylophone sticks,' she said. 'We've cleaned up and disposed of alcohol and drug containers, as well as paraphernalia… and we don't do that because we have to. We do it because we care.' She noted that before starting classes, she contacted the Town and was told her use of the parks would be acceptable, just like other groups and camps. But she raised concerns about the new permitting system under review. 'I constantly see wilful damage happening in the park done by people attending camps who aren't being supervised,' Wright said. 'A group of 20 children being monitored by two or three teenagers isn't going to notice everything.' Wright advocated for fairness and accountability, urging that any fees collected through the proposed permit system be used to address general wear and tear, not just damage linked to organized groups. 'What the Town has fixed, other groups have damaged, as well,' she said. Wright also emphasized accessibility, saying, 'We offer low fees, partial and full scholarship options. If a family came to me and said, 'We want to enrol our kids, we can't afford even one,' I would let every single one of those children attend for free.' Aside from church programs, Wright said she wasn't aware of any group in town offering the same level of support. 'Community means everything to me. I grew up here,' she expressed. She thanked the Town for removing a piece of rotting equipment in the parkour area that had posed a safety risk to children. While many councillors expressed support, some concerns remained, chiefly around safety, liability, and insurance. Wright confirmed she carried the required $5 million in liability coverage, but wasn't sure if the Town of Greater Napanee was named directly on the policy. Mayor Terry Richardson and Deputy Mayor Brian Calver stressed that the Town must be explicitly included. 'When somebody gets hurt, your legal stuff falls onto us,' the mayor warned. Councillors Bill Martin and Angela Hicks voiced strong support. 'I can't think of a better use of our park,' said Martin. Both councillors, however, referred to some negative comments on social media, and relations between PMA and the Town. Wright told Council that, while dialogue with staff had since improved, her first contact with the Town felt adversarial. 'The first email I received threatened me with fines,' she said, explaining that Town staff's initial concerns were focused on property damage, later shifting to liability, and then to the fact that she charged fees. 'I make three dollars a class,' she told Council. 'I do this solely for the community.' Councillor Dave Pinnell raised concerns about a Facebook photo showing a child hanging from a park light standard, citing the potential for encouraging unsafe behaviour or damaging infrastructure. Wright explained that, while the child is a student with PMA, the photo in question was taken outside class time when the child was supervised by his mother. With further regard to PMA's use of Town property, Wright said the padded boards used during lessons have been leaned gently against picnic tables and caused no damage. Councillor Mike Schenk offered support, but emphasized the need to minimize the use of benches or light poles. 'Everybody sues everybody these days,' he said. 'We have to protect the tax base and the municipality.' A report from the Town's insurer backed that stance, warning that if the Town knowingly allowed unpermitted or informal activities on its property, it could still be named in a lawsuit —- even if the municipality wasn't directly responsible. The report stressed that passing bylaws wasn't enough; they must also be enforced. Mayor Richardson closed the discussion by reaffirming Council's support for PMA and said the situation had been a learning experience. 'That's the wonderful thing about being in municipal government: every day is a new day,' he said. Council formally received Wright's deputation, then turned to further discussion under the meeting's agenda. That follow-up discussion focused on balancing public access with fairness for groups offering paid programming. Councillors debated the need for affordable permit options for children's fitness programs, with Hicks suggesting a seasonal permit might reduce the administrative burden on small organizations. Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Matthew Grant clarified that Council would ultimately determine the rental rate and could choose to adopt seasonal, hourly, or youth-specific fees. Council voted to approve, in principle, the creation of the new Passive Park – Commercial/Sport Use rental category and directed staff to return to Council with fee structure options. PMA is allowed to continue its programming, pending Wright's providing updated insurance documentation.
