Hello. I'm Jim Kennedy, director of NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center.
The STEREO mission features two nearly identical spacecraft that will offer a new look
at the fiery and very important relationship between our planet and the sun.
Just as we use two eyes to see in three dimensions, STEREO's two spacecraft will reveal
-- for the first time in 3-D -- the structure of incredibly violent solar eruptions called coronal mass ejections.
These events endanger spacewalking astronauts, trigger fierce magnetic storms, and wreak havoc on Earth's power systems.
The STEREO mission will give the world a new and valuable tool in detecting space weather.
