'''Space Weather Follow-On L1''' ('''SWFO-L1''') is a future spacecraft mission purposed for monitoring signs of [[solar storm]]s, which may pose harm to Earth's [[telecommunication]] network. The spacecraft will be operated by the [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] (NOAA), with a nominal launch schedule of 2024.<ref name="Ullmanofcm2019">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> It is planned to be placed at the Sun–Earth [[Lagrangian point]], a location between the Earth and the Sun. This allows ''SWFO-L1'' to continuously watch [[solar wind]]s and energetic particles heading for Earth. ''SWFO-L1'' is an ESPA Class Spacecraft, sized to be fitted around an [[EELV Secondary Payload Adapter]] (ESPA) Grande ring while placed on a rocket.<ref name="Ullmanofcm2019"/> The spacecraft's Solar Wind Instrument Suite (SWIS) which includes three instruments will monitor solar wind, and the Compact Coronagraph (CCOR) will will monitor the Sun's surroundings to image [[coronal mass ejection]] (CME).<ref name="Ullmanofcm2019"/> A CME is a large outburst of plasma sent from the Sun towards interplanetary space.
Together with space weather observation capabilities on the Earth-orbiting [[GOES-U]] satellite, ''SWFO-L1'' constitutes the space segment of NOAA's Space Weather Follow-On (SWFO) program. The aim of the SWFO program is to ensure a robust continuity in space-based measurement of critical space weather environments.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref></ref> Of the spacecrafts located in currently monitoring CME and solar wind, the [[Advanced Composition Explorer]] (ACE) is expected to consume its remaining propellant around 2024, and the [[European Space Agency|ESA]]-NASA [[Solar and Heliospheric Observatory]] (SOHO) will cease operation before the mid-2020s.<ref name="Werner20190306"></ref> ''SWFO-L1'' SWIS instruments will succeed ACE's monitoring of solar wind and energetic particles, while CCOR will succeed from SOHO's LASCO instrument imaging of CMEs.<ref name="Ullmanofcm2019"/>
