Not talking about the parker solar probe.
That one is going to be something like 4 million miles away from the sun. It's only going to study the sun.
The one I'm talking about is a fairly boring weather satellite with a little different instrumentation at a closer orbit than most weather satellites, its going to study earths atmosphere and the interaction between it and solar wind.
How does one observe the solar winds interactions with the upper atmosphere from the ground?
Furthermore how does one draw the conclusion that this satellite won't find anything new?
