COSM 2025, short for Coordinated Strategy for Space Weather 2025, is a five-year plan developed by the National Space Weather Program (NSWP) to enhance our nation’s ability to mitigate the effects of space weather.
Space weather refers to the conditions in space that can affect Earth and its technological systems. These conditions can include solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms. Space weather can disrupt satellites, power grids, and communications systems, and can even pose a risk to human health. COSM 2025 is designed to improve our ability to forecast and mitigate the effects of space weather, and to ensure that our nation is prepared for the challenges of the space weather environment.
