NASA's use of jets for solar eclipse observation
NASA is working on developing a new technology to chase total solar eclipses using high-altitude jet aircraft, in order to improve its ability to study the solar corona. During the 2026 mission, NASA used four multi-spectral measurement cameras, a development that contributed to increasing data accuracy and a better understanding of solar structures, especially given the extremely high temperatures of the solar corona that exceed millions of degrees. The study focuses on exploring phenomena above the Sun's surface and in the corona, with the goal of understanding the impact of solar winds on Earth. The results are expected to be published over the coming months to years, enhancing scientific capabilities to protect technological systems from solar storms.
