DSCOVR, formerly called Triana, will provide early warning capability from a deep-space orbit located at the sun-earth L1 Lagrange point to detect space weather and harmful solar wind activity that could impact Earth. It has the secondary mission of serving as an Earth climate observatory by providing a unique continuous view of the "Earth at noon" via multi-spectral imaging and a full-disc irradiance measurement of the light reflected from the Earth's surface. DSCOVR is planned to launch in 2015 on an Air Force provided SpaceX Falcon9 launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
