NASA’s Heliophysics Fleet Infographic

An artist's interpretation of the Sun-Earth system shows the NASA heliophysics missions that are in spread throughout the heliosphere. Solar wind coming from the Sun, on the left, is represented by orange and yellow;  and Earth's magnetosphere, on the right, is represented by consecutive, nesting purple loops. There is a key at the upper right hand of the graphic indicating the operating status of the missions.
