What Does SMM Stand For?
SMM stands for Solar Maximum Mission
The Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) was a satellite project launched by NASA in 1980 to study solar activity, particularly focusing on solar flares and their effects on the Earth's atmosphere and space environment. It played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the Sun's magnetic fields and their influence on space weather. By providing valuable data on solar phenomena, SMM contributed significantly to both solar physics and the development of models for predicting solar behavior. The mission concluded in 1989 but left a lasting impact on solar research.
