Holistic space observation: the shift from SSA to SDA

This piece argues for moving beyond traditional Space Situational Awareness (SSA) to a broader Space Domain Awareness (SDA), promoting holistic observation of on‑orbit activity, environmental effects and attribution to support operations, governance and resilience across civil, commercial and military space actors.

Spring equinox solar storm may intensify auroras; potential impacts to high‑latitude satellites and aviation A solar storm arriving around the March 20–22 spring equinox is forecast to intensify auroral activity, with Earth's equinox alignment likely to amplify effects. Operators should monitor space‑weather alerts: forecasters warn of possible impacts to high‑latitude satellites and polar aviation operations.

Long‑Lived Solar Active Regions Are Major Flare Factories — Cause Still Unclear Emily Mason and Kara Kniezewski report in The Astrophysical Journal that long‑lived solar active regions act as disproportionate producers of major flares and CMEs. By addressing the longstanding AR tracking problem, the study identifies persistent magnetic‑complexity and lifecycle patterns that help explain their flare productivity.
