In the S2P core activities within the COSMIC element<\/strong>, research and development activities from the areas of space weather, near-Earth objects, space debris and clean space are continued in the COSMIC element within the S2P core activities. Here, targeted industrial and university participation can expand existing knowledge to gain information about threats to European infrastructure in space and on Earth \u2014 and thus also help avoid imminent economic damage. Many such activities in COSMIC are of interest to German institutions. For example, within the Space Weather Service Network, the Ionosphere Weather Expert Service Centre is coordinated by the DLR Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics in Neustrelitz. It combines Germany's and Europe's scientific strengths and develops corresponding forecast services \u2013 for satellite and network operators, for example, as well as for aviation. To this end, the German-Austrian magnetometer SOSMAG has been providing important space weather data since its launch on 4 December 2018 on board the Korean satellite GEO-KOMPSAT-2A.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
